New Years Eve Day...

Hi there,
I don't want to do any sort of syrupy "Happy New Year" schtick...
This past year has been, arguably (and how I live to argue with myself) the most difficult, to say it mildly, I've had to endure in my lifetime.
I don't need to rehash...Wall Street free fall, foreclosures, mortgage debacles and the list goes on.
In some fashion we were all personally affected.
I certainly was/am.
However, as those of you who know me, as there are physical laws which are the most readily demonstratable (spell check doesn't like that) like gravity there are corresponding laws in other realms (and one of my favorites are spiritual laws) and they all are similar consequentializealy (I knew spell check wouldn't like that word).
A physical law is that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction and that holds true in those other realms as well.
The moral of all this, and I believe it in part to be a moral issue, is that we will naturally and logically "rebound" from the mess we have been in.
Now I'm gonna get a lil' new-agey here, but I believe that those who go into next year with a positive attitude are going to be on the forefront of the pendulum swing.
Pushing 35 years of being n Real Estate have proven this to be true.
Another "modern" truism is, "Don't believe everything you hear or see in the media!"
We in northern Colorado are blessed to be somewhat insulated from a lot of the horribleness that we are led to believe we are in...not immune, mind you, but insulated from in that although the economic problems are real we are not suffering double digit inescapable deprecations in the value of many of our homes and real estate investments.
I look forward to 2009 being a good year for Real Estate in northern Colorado.
That's not just my opinion.
It's the natural and logical consequences of "things".
