Shine Like It Does

Well it shined it was one of those days that I have several things now in waiting. Today was that type of day where I knew it was time to take a hold on things. What I truly mean is that I have been on the go and doing things and all things seem to have been lining up. There is that saying I recall from a friend of mine from New York that was rather philosophical and for the life of me I forget his name. But the saying was when the vertical and the horizontal line up, then it's all within your sphere.

Now with that all said I have had some rather good things taking place and nothing is perfect. So I took this one day and it was one of those days where you just do as you please. I guess I would chalk today up as being much like a Sunday for me.

That all said I went around the city, and I had to make one visit to this mall and a company that has just took over this shopping center. I was there and had a hoot of a time with the administration. Not to mention I think I have been on top of every building nearly now within the city. When I left I could see across the street right on the corner this retailer called, "GMG Jewellers" and I just walked in. Upon walking in I wasn't sure if the business had been taken over since the times that I had started within shopping centers. So I went in and before you know it there is this guy that I used too try so hard as a kid to rent a space within one of the malls that I was renovating. It's really something when you run into people when it's unexpected. Some of the people that I used to know within this sector where rather shall we say arrogant. And then there were some that were really down to earth. I never did rent a space with this old friend named Jerry. But back then I was a kid just learning things under my mentors in business and he would not budge with all the meals and sit down negotiations we had. I nearly gave him the farm to get him into a space of 2,000 sq. ft. on only a month to month percentage rent deal. As he would bring customers and he had a very dedicated/destinational clientele.

However through it all were most just keep business as business I always kept a good connection with most all the people that I dealt with. And here today, I was within his jewellery store and how things never change. He was older - sure but he and his wife were that same down to earth people as before and it's funny how you move on and travel with work and then come back and there are those that you just hit it off and there seems that there is no time that has passed. We talked and then I just wished to get a few pictures and then it lead to him giving me more of a tour of all that he had and he was always a vibrant one. One that never stopped but just had that enthusiastic yet the smarts within business as I don't know one. That has kept in business for over 20 some odd years.

We ended with exchanging connections and it's funny how you can move away and then come back some 15 years later if not a little more and there are those people that all you have to do is start talking and they remember you as if it was just yesterday.

Mind you I never did buy a ring. But I certainly got the whole jest as to how it's all done...
