I'm Humbled...

I go to work every day, and I think I have one purpose. Serve my agents, and make their lives easier and more productive. Most days I think I do alright, other days I think I'm not quite up to par.

There are times in our lives that reach into your soul, and give a man purpose, meaning, thankfulness. Birth of your children; Marriage; Seeing the beauty of God's creations (whales, mountains, oceans, etc).

I just received such a moment. My agents (whom I have the priviledge to serve) think I do a pretty good job. I now have a foot tall crystal award that proclaims I've received the "Awesome Broker Award". I'm to add the letters ABA after my name.

Wow. Nearly speechless (not quite, I guess I'm writing this), certainly choked up. Mostly, I know that few times in my life have I been recognized for my service to others, and to have my entire company tell me that I'm doing a good job for them. Quite an honor. Quite a moment. Just hope I keep earning their respect, day in and day out....

I've had a rough winter

Who am I kidding. We (wife and myself) have had a very bad 3 years. Brother in law has been very ill, and died in April. Wife has had back surgery, and nerve pain for well over a year. House problems, housing market problems, lawyer issues.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? It really all gets better. Wife had a nerve stimulator installed last week. We worked out a Mortgage plan, and the housing market is starting to return.

Life does get better. Kids are doing good, and while I look at this stuff being the bad stuff, there is good stuff too.

My eldest just started Medical school. My second got married in the spring, and is finishing her masters. My 3rd daughter got married last fall, and is moving into a home she custome built shortly (got her Real Estate license last month too). My youngest daughter started college last week, has a job, and is paying for a new car on her own. And my youngest son is in the IB program.

When we think of the bad stuff, good stuff is worth remembering too...
