Time to laugh!
A woman invited some guests to her home for dinner.  AT the table, she turned to her six-year-old daughter and said, "Would you like to say the blessing?"
 "I wouldn't know what to say," the little girl replied. "Just say what you hear Mommy say," the mother said. The little girl bowed her head and said, "Why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?"

What's On Your Mind:
Subprime Crisis...the morning after. 
 

The biggest real estate news story of the year was the crash of the subprime mortgage industry.  Night after night, news reports flooded the airwaves with stories of disaster.  Many lenders found themselves in trouble and closed their doors.

 

So what now?  The market didn't crash as many pundits suggested it would.  Certain businesses are gone and foreclosures are on the rise.  Is this the end of the road for real estate buying and selling for the next couple of years?

5 WAYS TO CULTIVATE AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE

  1. Choose your friends wisely. If you strive to be spiritually strong, supportive, empowering, intelligent, energetic, and positive, seek those characteristics in others.
  2. Help your friends cultivate gratitude. Before you say anything about a friend's situation, remember that everyone's situation is unique. I've seen it happen to myself and to my friends. They'll be perfectly happy until someone tells them they're being mistreated. Suddenly, they're upset.
  3. Give the gift of gratitude to your children. Help your children to be satisfied with the simple things while giving them the innate power and ability to achieve whatever they want in life...by living in such a way yourself.
  4. Say "Thank You." Whom in your life do you appreciate? Let them know, whether it's your mom, your kids, your friends, your husband, your child's daycare provider or the helpful woman behind the cosmetics counter.
    Be mindful of the little things. Today, strive to be aware of all the aspects of your personal, professional, and family life for which you are thankful.
  5. Take a few minutes today to appreciate nature. Go for a walk and notice only those things that are beautiful. Whether you focus on the stars above, a distant mountain range, or the cottonwood tree in your backyard, try to notice the details. Give thanks for the beauty that surrounds us.
