Peyton in bowlYes, this is a blatant attempt to use a cute and cuddly little critter to grab your attention. I mean, who can resist a photo of a sleepy little kitty all curled up in a bowl? But little Peyton likes to curl up in crockery when it's time for a snooze.

There is something to be said about staying in your own comfort zone. There are certain places that we too, feel safe, secure and protected. There is contentment in familiarity, solace in certainty and protection in proximity to our usual haunts.

But these assurances are fleeting, and a lot of times we are more fully exposed to the realities of life than we think we are. We may feel completely safe and secure, but we must not rely on the usual routines or disciplines to keep the wolves from the door.

In the meantime, I'll enjoy the comfort of my kitties!

Peyton is too cute!  I read a book titled Danger in the Comfort Zone and Who Moved my Cheese many years ago.  Perhaps I should pull them out and read them again.

My Persian seems to make the bathroom sinks her place of choice for a snooze. Stand up stretch and ask for a drink. Meow.

Richard - blatant self promotion by kitten. We all go back into our comfort zones so easily, without even thinking. I know that I am more comfortable with a keyboard than I am trying to generate leads on a phone. It is much easier to comment on your posts than it is to call an expired. There are days when I have a very hard time getting out of my keyboard comfort zone. Oh, keep up the kitty blogging.

Mel...

This was a "cheesy" attempt to take advantage of cuteness, and I needed a break from yesterday's heavy stuff!

Laura...

Peyton likes the sink too... I wonder if it's because it's cool?

Mike...

Thanks, and I agree with you completely .. I LOVE doing this!

Richard, your plan worked.  It made me smile.  Keep them coming!

09/04/2008 07:09 AM by Melody Botting Real Estate Network


What a cute kitty!  Peyton got my attention!

You're right about comfort zones - ships are safe in the harbor, but that is not what ships are for!

Have a Great Day,    Laurie

Mel..

I will... I'm going to come up with some satire posts again soon! We all need a laugh!

Laurie...

Hey, that is dead on point! Although a ship is not as cute as a "sweepy wittle kitty!" LOL and thanks/

I want to curl up in a bowl and go to sleep right now! 

Got to get the kids off to school and get to work though.....Some days it would be nice to be a cat.

LIked your blatant attempt at using the cute & cuddly kitten to grab our attention.  I agree with the comfort zone it is at times that I get out of it when I think to myself "now that wasn't so bad was it?".  It is just the ideas I put in my own head about how horrible the experience will be when it turns out to be fine.  Kristin

Some days I wish I could just crawl into a bowl and sleep too, but in Real Estate, THAT NEVER HAPPENS!!!

09/04/2008 08:16 AM by Michael Klijanowicz - Relocation Specialist - Baltimore & Harford County (Baltimore & Harford County Maryland - Long and Foster )


Peyton likes her bowl for sleeping....personally, I would prefer a King Size bed!

That kitty looks lke a couple of agents i know LOL,...nice post

09/04/2008 08:38 AM by Jason Mitchell (Coldwell Banker)


Richard:  Great photo of Peyton.  And as for the subject, routine is a warm and cozy thing, but it never hurts to shake it up.

09/04/2008 09:56 AM by Chris Ann Cleland, GRI (Long & Foster)


I'm in the middle of reading Who Moved My Cheese which talks about change. I love my comfort zone which is in my office...on my turf but I know it's' time for change. And your ploy worked with me.....I was drawn like a moth to a flame by Peyton! 

09/04/2008 10:00 AM by Mandi Perkins (AZ Big Sky Realty, Inc.)


NO FAIR!!! Using cute and cuddly!!  I can tell it has a great home

09/04/2008 10:39 AM by William Feela Owner/Broker North Branch,MN (Whispering Pines Realty)


Richard- Cats find the silliest places to curl up, don't they. I love Peyton! He is too cute!

09/04/2008 02:00 PM by Lori Franks ~ Brookings, Oregon Real Estate (Oregon Coast Realty)


Thank you Mr. Peyton for a wonderful lesson.  I too like the security of my comfort zone.

09/04/2008 03:12 PM by Don Rogers REALTORĀ®, CRS O'Fallon MO & St Charles County MO homes (RE/MAX Gold)


Peyton looks very happy.  Looks like he'll outgrow that roost soon! 

When I was having difficulty with my business---errr lack of ---- my coach recommended I read --- or reread --- 2 books right away.  The Instant Millionaire by Mark Fisher and The One Minute Millionaire by Marc Victor Hansen and Robert Allen.  Do you have these books?  They really helped me think differently and implement a few changes..... It worked!!

09/04/2008 03:48 PM by April Hayden-Munson Realtor, Southeastern Wisconsin (RE/MAX Realty 100)


Richard.... there is danger indeed in staying isolated in our comfort zone.  We don't grow or expand and pretty soon we begin to atrophy.  We've tried over the years to adapt as quickly as possible to changes in the marketplace.  I would say we all have adapted in a major way by belonging and growing in our blogging efforts. 

Btw, Peyton is one cute little kitten.

09/04/2008 04:53 PM by Fairbanks Ak Real Estate Broker Jesse Clifton (Jesse & Kathy Clifton, REALTORS 907-699-6024)


Richard,

Thanks for posting that.  Peyton, as always, is adorable - but the lesson illustrated is even better.

09/04/2008 05:03 PM by Kristina Pratt, Realtor - St. Louis' Illinois Suburbs (Coldwell Banker Brown Realtors)


Darin...

But you gotta wub an itty bitty wittle kitty! lol

Charlie...

Unfortunately, there are lots out there that need homes! Please spay and neuter folks!

Pam...

Even better would be to be a cat at MY house ... they have it made!

Kristin...

A lot of times I'm guilty of overthinking everything! Thanks for the comment!

Michael...

I would prefer a nice warm bed to a bowl, but what the heck?

09/04/2008 09:26 PM by Richard Weisser Coweta Fayette Real Estate ERA United Realty


One day I will have to post a picture of my cat as he is biting my wife. That's what he does best.

09/04/2008 10:14 PM by JL Boney, III (Russell and Jeffcoat)


Richard,

What a cute little furball!  Blatant or not.

Thanks,

Ann
