Dear Readers:

I recently thought about the homes that I sold in the past and hopefully love and memories are being made.

Today, I heard a song titled “Perhaps Love,” by John Denver & Placido Domingo.The words are so meaningful:

• Perhaps love is like a resting place, a place to keep you warm. (Home)

• Perhaps love is like a window or an open door.It’s there to invite you to come closer, it wants to show you more.

• Perhaps love is like a cloud, to some a way of steel.

• Perhaps love is a way of living, for some a way to feel.

• Perhaps love is like holding on or maybe letting go.

• Perhaps love is everything and some say they don’t know.

• Perhaps love is like an ocean full of conflict, full of pain. Like a fire when it’s cold outside or thunder when it rains.

But if you should live forever and all your dreams come true, the memories of love will be of you. (And all your loved ones.)

What beautiful words.Stop and ruminate the meaning of these words. Everything in the lyrics covers many aspects of the word LOVE.Love has so many different meanings. Love of God, a person, family, country, HOME.These things are all important for survival.

To correlate real estate with this article: Love of home is mentioned as an important part of life. Owning a home is desired by most. A home is the place we love and enjoy with our loved ones. A place to kick back and relax in a comforting atmosphere. But today owning a home is out of the picture for many, especially the younger generation.The down payment and the high interest rate have become a big issue. Inflation has taken over.

Hopefully the future will allow all who desire to be proud owners of a HOME!

Thought for the day: “If you want happiness for an hour—take a nap. If you want happiness for a day—go fishing. If you want happiness for a year—inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime—help someone else.” (Chinese Proverb)
