     Book Reivew of The Art of Racing in the Rain

While I was on a quick vacation a few days ago, my wife, Lizzie, asked me to read the same book that she was reading, so that she would have someone to discuss it with.  She claimed that it was a quick read (although nothing ever is for me) and that I would enjoy it since it was about a dog (see recent Facebook post about our dog search). Reluctant as I was, and always trying to make her happy, I decided to give it a try.  The book is called “The Art of Racing in the Rain” by Garth Stein, and Lizzie was right, within a few pages I was hooked.  The story is told from the perspective of a dog, Enzo, who comically, honestly, and sometimes sensitively recounts the journeys of his race car driving owner, Denny.  It’s funny and entertaining, touching and tender, and the message really resonated with me....life isn’t always about winning or losing, it’s about the joy of the ride. 

Sometimes purchasing or selling a home can feel like a roller coaster ride, filled with emotional ups and downs.  But, as was demonstrated in the book, a lot of times it is better to embrace those minor challenges and remain focused on your end goal.  As always, I am here to help you through your real estate journeys, and to make your ride as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
