I finally got out to
the Delta to have lunch over the weekend. I don’t know about you, but I
love living so near the water. I’m about a half hour (on good days) from
the grandeur of the Pacific Ocean, a lake 20 minutes away in Oakland and
the amazing Sacramento River. When I travel north east about 20 minutes,
the highways parallel the majesty of the river.
Once we crossed the
Antioch Bridge there are multiple unique communities with personalities
of their very own. Isleton is know for it’s crawdad festival in July, Locke
for the Chinese influence born from the rock wall construction in the 1940’s
and the infamous Al the Wop’s, Walnut Grove for being a mainstay of the
recreational boating community. All along Highway 160 there must be no
less than 20 small towns, all with their own points of interest.
When I take the time
out to be near the water, I feel rejuvenated and energetic. I’m always
reminding my business clients to take time out in the summer to build memories
and enjoy the company of special friends and their family.
I have always appreciated
to many pleasures the San Francisco Bay Area has to offer as I’m sure wherever
you are, you’ll find many unique and interesting places in which to venture.
Create memories and
take the time to enjoy the beauty around you. It’s truly what makes life
worthwhile.

It’s hard to believe
the summer is half over and we’ve slightly more than five months left in
the year. I know how busy everyone is and I hardly ever meet anyone who
ever ends up a week with more time than things to do. I imagine there’s
someone out there, but I sure don’t know them.
So, the point is, how
do we spend the time that we have. The new Harry Potter movie comes out
this week and if you’re not a fan find a young person and treat them to
the movie. Their enthusiasm will be contagious! Doing something for others
as a random act of kindness is awe inspiring. It will give you a precious
feeling that nothing else can compare.
I look for at least
one person every day I can surprise by doing something that is a little
unexpected and it makes my day special. I enjoy making someone smile or
laugh of feel appreciated. The world we live in, our own sphere of influence
is the only world we have any control over.
Make your world a better
place and think in terms of random acts of kindness.
If you were to take
30 minutes each day and work toward that goal, in one month, you would
have spent 10 hours working towards your ideal!
Go for it! |
