Ginny's RI House Hunt Blog: 600,000 and counting- How Did I miss this ONE

600,000 and counting- How Did I miss this ONE

600,000 and counting- How Did I miss this ONE.  Sometimes the points just get away from you and they did today as Iginny lacey gorman waited over a day on all sorts of issues with this one closing ....I even had to go down and jump in the ocean today to put things in perspective!

 Well the ocean was well worth the trip to the beach...short and sweet.  Closing checks delivered to the seller and home to check posts...What I'm over 600,000 and do i get the balloons, dark chocolates and all...no, it is a quiet wave of you made it to oneself.

Hey, points do not seem to matter to me much anymore...it is about the connections here and the education level is immense.  This week alone I stepped into another video realm with IMovie thanks to Richard Yates' encouragement and it is a blast.

Tonight it is to Thank so many of you for your continued support and encouragement.  

So as life goes on, closings come and go... my fellow ActiveRainers can count me in here.  I will be here tomorrow and the next day I hope...when next I can say to that next milestone at ActiveRain 'wow, 700,000 and counting- how did i miss this one!  600,000 and counting- How Did I miss this ONE.

Ginny, Congratulations to you on your hard work, dedication and commitment to Active Rain. This is such a great community to be a part of and I, like you, learn something new everyday.  Great job!  600,000 points is a great reason to celebrate!  Enjoy your balloons, you earned them!

Ginny -- This is so funny.  JUST before I noticed this post, I looked at my points and was amazed at what I saw. I have not been looking lately!  Congrats to you. Your 600K is sure filled with quality content.  Keep on keeping on!!

I know exactly what you mean. When AR becomes so much a part of your life that signing on each day is just what you do, the points cease to matter. Congratulations anyway.

Hi Ginny...

Congratulations on this very important milestone. The points are a great accountability tool that keeps us all going, and it's fun to watch the odometer roll over every once in a while.

Posted by Richard Weisser (Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Metro Brokers) 11 months ago

Congratulations on another milestone.  That is a wonderful accomplishment, keep on blogging!!!

Posted by Kathy Sheehan (Prospect Mortgage) 11 months ago

Hi Ginny,

Congrats on the milestone.over 600,000 points and not skipping a beat! Happy blogging! On to the next achievement!!

Posted by Dorie Dillard Realtor® Canyon Creek NW Austin TX homes for sale (Coldwell Banker United Realtors) 11 months ago

Hi Ginny - Isn't it funny how much faster the points seem to pile on after we've been blogging for awhile?  I guess I'm on my way to 600,000 too, though I'm not likely to hit it for a few months.  I was just telling my husband how quickly I seemed to go from 400,000 to 500,000 and now I'm about 1/3 of the way to the next milestone like you.  I hardly know how it happened.  Congrats!  See you there pretty soon! (But by then you'll likely be at 700,000!)

I think I am near the 800 rollover but I agree, it is the peeps and the stuff you learn.

Congratulations, Ginny. I love it that you are so consumed with the demands of business and life that you missed the passing of the 600K mark until later. It shows that you have a higher goal than merely scoring points.

Ginny, congratulations.....

(I believe, after 500,000, we are so involved in the community that we forget where we stand on points - unless we are reaching a seven-figure mark! I missed mine, too ....)

Ginny -- you say you missed the milestone, and that the points aren't that important -- that is why you are doing so well on ActiveRain -- you are focused on providing useful information and networking with like minded professionals.

Congratulations

Good job, Ginny.  That is a great accomplishment.  I do notice that when I'm not paying attention they add up pretty fast. Kind of like watching a pot boil.  I missed my last milestone, but I have a new closing in so I'll try to stay alert this time.  I look forward to your next 600K.  That seems like such a big number.  8-)
