Where's Wellington?

Thankful Thursday: RAIN!!!

I can't recall the last time Wellington Florida had a day of rain like we did today. It has been soooo dry in Wellington that the grass and flowers were starting to die. I usually don't care for rain especially when I have to show property, but today I did not mind one bit. Hopefully the grass will start turning bright green again.

Thankful Thursday - Paying it Forward

This past soccer season my son, Chase, was chosen to be the captain of his team. As his mother and one of his coaches I could not have been more proud of how he lead his team all the way to the Championship trophy.

Chase is usually the highest goal scorer for his teams and this season was no different.

However this season became very different as I watched my son go from wearing a captains arm band to becoming a true leader.

thankful thursday As I watched Chase drive down the soccer field during his fourth game, with the ball at his feet only seconds away from scoring his 3rd goal of the game he suddenly passed the ball to his right forward, Oscar.

Oscar took the shot and scored his 3rd goal of the game referred to in soccer as a "hat trick," something most young soccer player's will never achieve. That was Oscar's only hat trick of the season and the only other player to achieve this status was Chase, who managed to do it five times.

As the boys walked off the field high-fiving one another Chase turned to my husband with a grin on his face and said "Yeah I know I had the shot, but Oscar was only one away from his hat trick." What Chase didn't mention was he too was only one goal away from a hat trick and at that moment my husband and I knew he truly deserved to be wearing the captains band.

thankful thursday However the story doesn't end there. A few games later Oscar had his own shot on goal, but passed the ball to his teammate, Caleb, who only plays defense and has never scored a goal in his life. Unfortunately Caleb didn't score, but nobody cared, instead the entire team, parents and coaches went wild cheering him on.

As Oscar came off the field, he smiled at my husband and said "Chase gave me my hat trick, I owed it back to the team."

Chase never told Oscar he "gave" him the hat trick, but Oscar knew and it was one of the best examples I've ever witnessed of paying it forward.

I am truly Thankful to have such a wonderful son like Chase.

Thankful Thurday: Cherish every moment, even the little ones

Thankful Thursday: Cherish every moment, even the little ones
thankful thursday www.sellingcentralpalmbeach.com

My mom traded in her snow boats for flip flops this week by jumping on a plane from Wisconsin and heading down to Sunny FL. I don't get to see my mom as often as I'd like too, but I cherish every single moment I get to spend with her even if we're just sitting around talking. I hate to admit it, but I use to take little moments like that for granted. However after almost losing my mom to breast cancer four years ago I cherish every second we get to be together. My mother is an amazing woman, mom, grandma and now cancer survivor.

Cherish every single moment with family and friends because you'll never know when it'll be your last.

Thankful Thursday: Are you Thankful?

As I reflect on 2009 I must admit it's been a ruff road. Real Estate was more challenging this year than most, which I'm sure anyone in the industry can relate. My husband was in a horrible car accident and lost his job right after it. Both my boys had H1N1 and my oldest son had surgery over the summer. However with all of these life changing negatives I chose to focus on the positive.

thankful thursday I'm Thankful for Business: Even though all of my transactions were extremely difficult this was one of my best years ever.

I'm Thankful for Life: My husband SURVIVED this horrible car accident. He's still getting treatment and will never be the same, but he's alive.

I'm Thankful for Healthly Children: Even though my boys had H1N1 it left as quick as it came and they are healthy today.

I'm Thankful for My Home: While many people in South Florida are losing their home I still have mine and I'm thankful for it.

I'm Thankful for Money: Even though my husband's unemployment is 10% of what he use to make it helps.

Lastly I'm Thankful for Family & Friends: I have an unbelieve group of family and friends, including all the new ones I have met this year on ActiveRain.
