Children taking care of their parents and juggling careers are looking for assisted living homes in Benson Arizona as well as Anywhere USA. The responsibility is upon this generation of baby-boomers to remain loyal to their family members in need of full-time supervision. When considering a residential setting the proximity to work is a major factor. In major cities like Tucson their are many choices and it seems like a facility can be found on every other street.

BrokerAgentNews.com has an article called the dumbest things sales people do that made me chuckle this morning. It got me thinking about why I got into real estate.

We can't operate at full throttle in our careers day after day without a break. When you do get away, leave your cell phone at home! We need to recharge so we can be at our peak for ourselves, our families and our clients. We need some balance and happiness in our lives and sometimes the best way to do that is by stepping back, go away for a week, a day or even a 30 minute walk at ... 09/27/2007

Booya!!... isn't this exciting!? Is your seat-belt fastened? 40,000 Points!! I know it really isn't a very cool milestone, but for me its awesome. And in case you didn't know.... Booya basically means, "bam!", "in your face", and "hell yeah", all at the same time. A term that self congratulates the user, describes excitement, lets others know the magnificence of the celebration or rouse as well as the superiority of the user, and is used as an exclamation of those ideas.Not wanting to sound like an Academy Award winner or anything (cue the cheese!) thank you to those people who read my ramblings and rants. Thank you to those wonderful friends who I visit every day, and who in turn visit me too. Thank you to every ActiveRain blogger, whose stories and insights have made me want to share ... 09/13/2007
