This is from an e-mail I just received from one of my sons. These are the "little" things that make my life so rich and happy.
Raga sent me the upcoming schedule for his daughter's field hockey team and this is the message. Allegra is an eighth grader on the varsity field hockey team at her school. He knows how much we love to attend as many of our grandchildren's activities as we possible can.
This is day number one as a varsity player. When Allegra saw us on the sidelines she gave us a big grin. Believe me, we were as happy as she was and wouldn't have missed it for the world.
There are many material things that we can give our children and our grandchildren. Even more important than that is what we give of ourselves, love and time.
Real estate is a profession that calls on us to sometimes work seven days a week and 16 hours a day. Yet it is also a field that provides us flexibility.
Fortunately there are so many tools that we have at our disposal that enable us to work from many places other than our offices. Having the ability to receive calls, e-mails, and text messages while standing on the sidelines (that's where I usually am so I can click away on my camera) makes it less stressful. Clients and prospects are just a cell phone away.
Make the most of that flexibility and find a healthy balance between your work and your life.

Hi Kate- Just came back from our 8 year old grandsons football homecoming cookout and games tonight. Though we were not able to go to each and every game this fall we went to many and wouldnt have missed any of it for the world. Lifes too short and precious.
It's good to take time for the grandkids. If I had know being a grandpa was such fun, I would skipped parent and went straight to grandpa!
Kate, That smile is priceless. Keep enjoying each and every chance you get. Thanks for sharing and reminding us of what's important.
Oh, Kate how sweet that is! First year of varsity! So wonderful that you could be there to support her.
Kate technology has made us more flexible. I can see you are a lady with her priorities in the right order. Showing love and spending time with family is more important that the material things we can give.
From the looks of it she was delighted to see you.
As much as we might complain, we realtors have the gift of freedom. And that is a great gift.
That smile is worth a million dollars! Being there is so important! I'm glad you live close and can do those things together. Thanks for the heartwarming post, Kate!
