We all need to remember to treat ourselves, daily. Here's just a couple ideas. What are yours?

1. Take a few minutes each day to sit quietly and just reflect
2. Buy a bouquet of flowers
3. Read a good book
4. Turn off the TV
5. Ask your "significant other" to rub your feet with lotion...you reciprocate
6. Allow yourself "not" to answer the phone every time it rings. The message machine really does work.
7. Get outside for a few minutes just to breath the fresh air
8. Go to a museum
9. Always buy a box of Girl Scout cookies, even though you know they are over priced.
10. Smile at strangers, it's amazing how your smile is infectious.
11. Bake a loaf of bread, frozen dough loafs count, and eat a slice with real butter.

My wish to you is to enjoy the day, find peace in your soul and rejoice in being alive.

Buyers Beware~

When thinking of buying a Short Sale, if there's a HOA (Home Onwers Association), check for the following:

1. What the HOA's dues are
2. Are there any delinquent dues
3. What are the HOA's restrictions

If you purchase a home in a HOA and the dues are delinquent, YOU will be responsible for them, if they are not taken care of at the time of the sale.
