Here we are already - 2024.  I wish you all the best in this brand new year=
.  I appreciate the beginning of new year to look back in review, take stoc=
k of the current situation, and make new plans. It's always full of possibi=
lities.

Overall, 2023 was a good year for me.  Personally, it was a year to remembe=
r and celebrate several major anniversaries ending in a 0. Yes, the real es=
tate market had its changes and challenges.  But that is a normal thing for=
 real estate historically. There will always be people who need to make a c=
hange in their living situation no matter the market.

I had one really great experience a few months ago on vacation in Mexico. W=
e visited a place called Xenses at Xcaret. This theme park has zip lines wh=
ere you can fly like a bird,  a muddy river in a cave to float down, and a =
mexican village street to walk down where everything is an optical illusion=
. They have an experience called the Xensatorium.   The Xensatorium is a co=
mpletely pitch dark path through a cave where those who enter experience th=
e five major ecosystems of the planet using only the senses of touch, smell=
 and sound.  You go in barefoot to feel the different types of ground surfa=
ces.  You keep your hands at chest level to help you find the sometimes obs=
cure opening in what seems like a dead end. It's not for everyone.  While s=
itting and waiting my turn I saw an athletic young man shortly come back ou=
t the entrance saying, "nope, no way!"   I wondered what the heck is this, =
because other than a few tips, we know very little about what we are waitin=
g to go into.  But it was so
cool!  It's one of my favorite things I have ever done.  In the gift shop t=
here are shirts that say,

If you can fly, run
If you can't run, walk
If you can't walk, crawl
But by all means,
Keep moving forward

Just keep moving forward, the best way you can, however that may look for y=
ou. That's a great encouragement for a new year.

Until next time,  Val

I had one really great experience a few months ago on vacation in Mexico. W=
e visited a place called Xenses at Xcaret. This theme park has zip lines wh=
ere you can fly like a bird,  a muddy river in a cave to float down, a=
nd a mexican village street to walk down where everything is an optical ill=
usion. They have an experience called the Xensatorium.  &nbs=
p;The Xensatorium is a completely pitch dark path through a cave where thos=
e who enter experience the five major ecosystems of the planet using only t=
he senses of touch, smell and sound.  You go in barefoot to feel the d=
ifferent types of ground surfaces.  You keep your hands at chest level=
 to help you find the sometimes obscure opening in what seems like a dead e=
nd. It's not for everyone.  While sitting and waiting my turn I saw an=
 athletic young man shortly come back out the entrance saying, "nope, no wa=
y!"   I wondered what the heck is this, because other than a few =
tips, we know very little about what we are waiting to go into.  But i=
t was so cool!  It's one of my favorite things I have ever done. =
