We all see the negativity out there in the media and even here on ActiveRain. Subprime Collapse, Liquidity Crunch, Housing Numbers, Bail Outs, Write Offs, Closures, yadda, yadda, yadda...
You get the idea.
Last weekend I was on a two hour pre-dawn bus ride. My daughter's H. S. Marching Band was competing in the Santa Cruz Band Review - they finished 4th! It gave me a chance to catch up on my reading. Nothing high brow. In fact, I read 3 of my 6 monthly motorcycle subscriptions.
In one of them was a two page article. The writer was doing a stream of consciousness piece. "I love Motorcycles because..." The entire two pages were filled with the exception of a picture in the middle.
If you are addicted to blogging you tend to see future blog posts everywhere. I read every word. I smiled, I nodded, I laughed. All the while the thought was in my head, this would be a great blog post. That happens to you too doesn't it?
Yes times are tough, yes there are closures, yes business is off.
But in posts like these, it's very clear that many people here love their profession.

Mike,
I like the fact knowing that I am helping people build their dreams by getting into a house. Even though this market is off, there are a lot of people trying to get their dreams.
Mike, I love the positive feedback from all the people who benefit when the loan funds and the deed records.

Thank You Mike
I just had to post something I learned last night in a workshop:
"Even though up until now, my chosen career has been a challenge*, I completely love and accept myself"
and that's all I have to say about that, Mike, thanks for asking!
*challenge is good...
I love the constant change of lending and real estate! It's never boring, and it requires learning more and more every minute of every hour of every day!
Thanks for asking - and reminding me!
