Happy Thanksgiving

Hello all,

"Happy Thanksgiving"

I wanted to thank everyone again who attended Thankful Tuesday last week. It was a very nice event and thanks also to everyone who helped out! It is going to be a short week in the office, we will be closing Wednesday at Noon and reopening Monday morning. Poor me... I have to fly out Wednesday evening to Boca Raton to attend a field hockey tournament with one of the children until Sunday. I hope you and your families have a wonderful Thanksgiving! 

Cut off date is Tuesday afternoon for our holiday dinner on 12/1. This too will be a very nice event sponsored by Counselors and Hutton & Patt. Please RSVP to me directly.

Germantown office- With the opening of the Aspen Hill office and the expansion in Potomac we have been focusing on getting those spaces looking nice. We are very proud in the way that they have turned out. I will now be turning my attention to the Germantown office to give it a bit of a face lift. Nothing major but we will be moving things around to add a 3rd conference room, pictures, touching up the paint... After that we will be set in all 3 offices and ready to kick some serious real estate ass in 2013!

Enjoy the coffee,

Joe  

INSPIRATION FOR TODAY:

"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on."

~ Robert Frost 

THE SUN ALSO RISES! 

Have you lost sight of The Big Picture? Has every little detail, every little brush stroke, taken on such importance and worry that you no longer remember what it was that you set out to create?

Here's some news for you - it's going to be okay, even if today's troubles seem overwhelming and insurmountable. Even if you feel that it will be the end of the world if your project goes beyond deadline, if your daughter's costume isn't ready for the school play, if you forgot to call your mother on her birthday. More news for you - the sun will still rise tomorrow. 

And you'll still be here to try to fix anything that seems irreparable today. Everything that life pitches at you is only meant to improve your hitting skills. Three strikes and you're out, but remember that you'll be up to bat again. And your team mates are there to take their best swings, too. Together you may find victory. And if you lose the game today, you're still together to take on the next challenge tomorrow. 

Don't ever lose sight of tomorrow - today and its cares will be over soon enough. No matter how it feels sometimes, there really are only twenty four hours in any given day and they always pass sixty minutes at a time. Time and fear are easily overcome by your faith in the ultimate outcome.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt gave these words of inspiration - try to follow them: "The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. Let us move forward with strong and active faith."
