Washington Mortgage Planner-straight up mortgage advice and commentary

Pssst...Don't tell anyone...but I'm taking the day off!

Good morning: Another stellar day in the Northwest. And I'm taking the day off! Why? A high school classmate of mine has this big hairy audacious goal of playing every golf course in the state. I told him if he was ever over on my side of the mountains, let me know and we'd go play Gold Mountain in Bremerton, rated the favorite golf course in Western Washington by the public.

The opportunity to do something you love with people you want to spend time with should not be missed. Yes, I have my cell. with me and email comes to my phone. But I'm going to also enjoy the day with my best friend in the 3rd grade. I think it's important to take advantage of these opportunities. They don't come around very often.

So enjoy your day today. I was having lunch with a guy yesterday I really admire. I referred to him as Mr. Bellevue because he has done so much to promote the city and the Eastside. He commented to me that he finally was going to be able to start taking weekends off soon. I told him that was good. I don't know about you but I've had a pretty good year and also taken a lot of time to do other things. So what do you have planned this week? Is there room to take time out and away from your business? If not, see if you can break away. You'll come back refreshed and ready to hit it again! Have a great day!

Sounds like fun.  Have a great day off, as realtors rarely get one.  Good Luck.

Hi Paul,

It should be a beautiful day to play golf.  I'm taking tomorrow to go visit my mother on the coast.  I just can't get away on weekends between open houses, floor duty, showings, etc.  Wednesdays and Thursdays for some reason are slower.

Have a great round today!

Thanks, Marcy. I appreciate it. I'm glad you're going to visit your mother. I understand about how it's hard for you to take time away. But I hope you take the occasional weekday off!

Gary: Thanks! I believe that sometimes there are more important things in life than busting it all the time!

Pat: Thank you. This is actually one coming back around based on a mutual affinity. Relationships often come and go. The important thing I think is to recognize an opportunity to spend time with someone else. Have a great day!

Thanks! I know realtors have a tough schedule. I think that's why I admire you so much. I know I couldn't do your job as I've often seen the behind the scenes work you guys do. Keep up the good work and, remember, to enjoy life along the way!

Paul, your friend has a lofty goal, every course! WOW.  Enjoy your day!

Thanks, Kristin. He has golfed 65 out of over 200. I honestly thought there might be more here in Washington State. To sum it up, we had a great time and reminisced about our great small town where we grew up. Thanks for commenting!
