10 Seconds of Grace

I had a very close call during a bicycle ride this morning. I was cycling over Lee Hill Road above Boulder on my way to Jamestown. After crossing over the summit at just over 7,000 feet I was traveling at about 30 mph downhill toward Left Hand Canyon.

As I was going down the hill my intuition told me to be extra careful and slow down. The hill was super steep. So even though I could have gone much faster I began tapping my brakes and slowed down to about 20 mph.

Looking ahead I saw a car coming up the hill and around the corner. As it rounded the sharp curve it swerved across the opposing lane (my lane) and onto the opposite shoulder before correcting and getting back in their lane.

The whole thing unfolded just a few hundred feet in front of me. I estimate if I have been 8-10 seconds ahead of where I was there would have been an awful head-on collision between me and the car.

Needless to say, it was a little too close for comfort. The driver didn’t seem bothered at all. His correction seemed almost casual. It all happened so fast it didn’t occur to me until later how close I may have come to death.

And that is when I began to feel the grace of it all. I thought back over the morning of some of the various  things that gave me that extra 8-10 seconds on the clock—that extra sip of coffee before heading out the door, stopping for a quick drink of water coming up the hill, listening to my intuition telling me to slow down.

So I am here and I am grateful to be alive. Overall it was an incredible ride. I’ll devote another post just for the bicycle ride. For now, I am savoring the grace of a few seconds that probably saved my life.

Every moment is precious. Don’t take anything for granted.

A Few Words of Thanks & Appreciation for What Is

I would just like to express a few words of thanks and appreciation for the closings I’ve had recently. The numbers are not big and the closings are not many, but I am sincerely grateful nonetheless.

We are in the middle of some of the most difficult economic times our nation has ever known—certainly the most difficult of my lifetime. Ordinary people are faced with making life changing decisions every day. No one is immune from the financial difficulties before us.

Be that as it may, I am thankful for what is.

I am thankful for my clients and the confidence they have shown in me by allowing me to serve them as their agent. I am truly grateful for their business.

I am thankful for the lenders for their patience and cooperation in working through the various challenges that came up during the closing process. I appreciate their willingness to work together with us.

And I am thankful for the inspectors and appraisers that faithfully and diligently done their jobs along with countless others in the supply chain that I may never know.

Most of all I am thankful for the opportunity to be thankful.

Cheers, thankfulness and appreciation to all as I tip my cup of chai tea with an attitude of gratitude for what is…
