Giving Thanks on Thanksgiving!

I started to write my Giving Thanks blog & realized I can’t do better than last years…My sentiments haven’t changed!

Coming up this week is one of my favorite holidays, Thanksgiving! These are challenging times, which is why I cherish this day.  Everyday I take a few moments to be grateful for good things in my life and give thanks.  On Thanksgiving Day I celebrate that I always have something to be grateful for and it becomes my anchor for the year to come. 

The feast I love the most  today is no different from the holiday meal I enjoyed growing up – true comfort food!  Picture a traditional golden brown turkey, crispy skin on the outside & moist on the inside, basic tasty celery & mushroom stuffing, Traditional Green Bean casserole, and freshly baked candied yams cubed, smothered in Vermont Maid syrup (or brown sugar & butter) and topped with lots of gooey marshmallows! Pumpkin and Pecan pies with freshly whipped cream finishes off what I consider a perfect feast!  How can we not be thankful!!

I am forever thankful for my friends and loyal clients, my children, my 5 amazing grandchildren I have been blessed with,  early evening crimson sunsets, loving animals of all kind, a warm fresh bagel with cream cheese & blueberry preserves, a roof over my head,  popcorn at the movies…I could go on and on!

Year round, I am most grateful to the brave men & women who put their lives in harms way 24 hours a day, at “home” and serving our country in places foreign to them, so you and I can enjoy a sense of peace, security, freedom, and celebration here in the USA.

Regardless of my mood,  remembering what I’m thankful for, lifts my spirit and brings out my smile.  Join me in taking a moment to consider our small and not so small things in life to be thankful for?  Give it a try for an energizing experience. 

Today many of our investments continue to be challenged, so I want to remind you that your real estate investment is still your most stable security.  Historically, recovery from a down trend in the real estate market has brought appreciation in values higher than ever before. . . Something to be grateful for!

Please remember to contact me with your questions, concerns and/or interest in making a real estate investment with today’s opportunities and challenges.  You have the benefit of my 25+ years experience in our ever changing markets, and if I don’t have the answer, then I’ll find it for you! 

Best wishes to you and your loved ones for a

Grateful and  Happy 2009 Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving – Year Round

Coming up this week is one of my favorite holidays, Thanksgiving!

These are challenging times, which is why I cherish this day.  Everyday I take a few moments to be grateful for good things in my life and give thanks.  On Thanksgiving Day I celebrate that I always have something to be grateful for and it becomes my anchor for the year to come. 

 

The feast I enjoy today is not too different from the holiday meal I enjoyed growing up – truly comfort food! Picture a traditional golden brown turkey, crispy skin on the outside & moist on the inside, basic tasty celery & mushroom stuffing, Campbell’s GreenBean casserole, and freshly baked candied yams cubed, smothered in Vermont Maid syrup (or brown sugar & butter) and topped with gooey marshmallows! Pumpkin and Pecan pies with freshly whipped cream to top it off!  How can we not be thankful!!

 

My giving thanks range from, my children, the grand children I have been blessed with, sunrises and sunsets, a warm fresh bagel with cream cheese, a roof over my head, my very old & sweet “kitty”, Peach, who still wakes me every morning, popcorn at the movies…and I could go on and on…I am most grateful to the brave men & women who put their lives in harms way 24 hours a day, at “home” and in places foreign to them, so you and I can enjoy a sense of peace, security, and freedom here in the USA.

 

Regardless of my mood, after several “thank you’s”, my spirit is lifted and I am smiling.  Have you taken a moment to consider your small and not so small things in life you may be thankful for?  Give it a try – it’s an energizing experience. 

 

Today our investments are being challenged, so I want to remind you that your real estate investment is still your most stable security.  Historically, recovery from a down trend in the real estate market has brought appreciation in values higher than ever before. . . Something to be grateful for!

Muholland Drive

Neighborhood of the Day
I love what I do – helping my clients find their home investment.  Mulholland Drives seems to divide neighborhoods of  West Los Angeles, from the neighborhoods of San Fernando Valley and has a very special appeal from either side. You haven’t experienced the amazing views of LA basin & beyond until you have perched yourself at the top of Mulholland. Looking toward the South from East, the beautiful skyline of dowtown to the West, reaching out to the ocean and the curves of the coastline. And yet across the road overlooking the San Fernando Valley, facing North from the East, as far as you can see, your eyes can follow the magnificent mountain ranges, as they sweep around to the west offering some of the most beautiful sunsets imaginable. Getting close to the 405 freeway, it is a stop above Bel Air and Sherman Oaks that you want to be sure to visit.
