Taking Care of Business

Today I attended two real estate classes. I had been thinking my license expires in July so I need to get my renewal hours in. I need eight, three hour classes. I took a class online in December and took three online classes last week. Tonya found some free classes so I took advantage of that today. So, I'm sitting in class and it occurs to me that my license doesn't expire until July 31, 2011. As Tonya says, I'll just be ahead.

The reason I was writing about this is I remembered that a friend asked me months ago why I was renewing my license still. I said, because it wasn't exactly easy to get in the first place and there is no way I could possibly ever pass the state exam now. I also always planned on using it when I became a "snowbird". This actually wasn't the usual question I have had over the years about why I kept an Arizona license. This question actually related to the fact that I have "terminal" cancer. The answer actually is this. If I truly believe that I can lick this thing, I need to live as if I believe it. That means I need to continue taking care of business and live as I would if I didn't have cancer in the first place. You can call it denial or you can think the way I do. It's positive attitude, the law of attraction, visualization and many other things important to my recovery. It's all a balancing act and one day I hope to be good enough at it to join the circus!
