I have not left the office before 10pm one night this week...and that is a good thing.  It means we are excessively busy.

If not for my morning paper, I really don't know what is going on in the world. Unless someone stops by my Coral Springs office to share the latest news.

I get up this morning to discover that after 52 yeas of being known as a, "SCORPIO"...I am not one any more, I like the strength of my Scorpio tail.  Because the moon, sun, earth and stars have shifted....I am now a, "LIBRA".  I DO NOT WANT TO BE LIBRA (likely because I know nothing about them). 

Maybe the scales will bring me more balance in my life.

Not earth shattering and I really don't have time to worry, because I have to get to the gym.

Before I leave, I read about how many more homeless people are congregating at the parks in Fort Lauderdale, waiting for a hot meal and how school assistance programs in Palm Beach county are up 62%, I am now sad, because I know so many who are struggling (I had my own fair share of struggles as well, but I am not homeless and my kids have jobs, so they are fed.)

Lastly I read that a golfer at a nice local country club, was shot in an attempted robbery, while playing.  I love to play golf, if I can squeeze it in.  Now I wonder, if it is no longer safe to play golf.  I probably shouldn't worry too much about that one as I only manage to play about 8 times a year.

As the world changes, I continue my routine and try not to worry too much, because I have customers that need my attention to satisfy their real estate needs, and I need to be focused on this.

In my heart, I want to do more to help those that are hurting.  As soon as I figure out what a LIBRA does, I'll get to this  ;-)  Not true, as I have always believed in the one who created the stars, earth, moon and sun, more than the stars themselves.  This is where I get my strength, my faith, that we are loved and cared about in every corner of our ever changing world.
