Hudson Valley Happenings Blog : Be Thankful For All You Have

Be Thankful For All You Have

Why Am I Thankful?  In this year with so much turmoil and the uncertain financial future I have a lot to be thankful for and a lot to look forward to.  

In Business I Am Thankful That:

I have remained true to my principles throughout the real estate boom and can thankfully say that I will earn as much this year as I did last year and the year before that.  

I have clients who appreciate my service enough to refer other people to me.

I have found a place on a team that allows me to do what I do best and gives me back up so I can go on vacation without worry about pending deals or unsatisfied clients.

My Broker is a community oriented individual who gives back so much and encourages us to do the same.

In My Personal Life I Am Thankful For:

My children who continue to do well and strive to be the best they can be.

My husband who works so hard to provide a stable income which allows me to relax a bit more during difficult moments in real estate.

My friends who give me joy and support through good times and bad.

My late parents and grandparents who were able to leave a bit behind so that I can invest in my family's future.

In Our World I Am Thankful For:

The young men and women who serve in our armed forces to protect and preserve our way of life.

All the people who think of others and give of their time to help those less fortunate.

The record number of people who took part in the recent Presidential election.  

You!

I encourage you all to take a few minutes and reflect on what you are thankful for this year.  Too many people focus on the negative and that draws bad things to them.  Make your Thanksgiving cup half full rather than half empty and you will see a better future.  I wish you all a wonderful holiday.  If no one has invited you to dinner with them then invite someone to spend this special time with you.  Don't sit around complaining about it do something to change it. You know there's still time.  Go ahead make some else's day!

You are so right.  We do indeed have much to be thankful for.  We must never lose sight of what is really important in life.  Thank you for acknowledging our troops.  Whenever I think I am having a tough day, I think of our men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

Thanks Michael.  I love it when that happens.

I am thankful to those in the armed forces for their sacrifices every day.  Thank you Barbara.

Paddy,

Thank you for writing this post - so many people are blinded by what they want, they forget to be thankful for what they have.  God bless our troops and their families during the holidays.....we owe them more than we can ever put into words.

Morning Paddy,

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. I always try to see the glass as being half full, it works better for me.

Nice to have been introduced to Rain and all the great folks, you included first and foremost. It is truly a year to give thanks for.

Posted by Harold (Hal) Place (A1 Connection Realty, Inc.) about 1 year ago

Thanks Sandy.  The appraisal is today will call you later.

I am happy too Sis! Happy Turkey Day to you and yours.

Thank you so much Hal.  Have a great Thanksgiving yourself!

Posted by Paddy Pizappi PineBush & Hudson Valley NY Real Estate (RJ Smith Realty Real Estate Solutions) about 1 year ago

I am so glad, that at this time of year, I have seen so many people express their Thanks, for what they have, for who they have, for who they are.  Perhaps one positive result to tougher economic times is that people take the time to reflect what is important in their lives.  Happy Thanksgiving to all. Peace, Happiness, and Laughter be yours.

Paddy - great blog about being thankful and when you focus on "not the positive" you do draw negativity to you.
