Missing The Heart Of The Season

Antique Valentine 1909 01.jpgThe heart of the season is one of joy and celebration.  It is a time to celebrate the birth of Jesus the Christ.  It is a time when those that love the Lord.  That is the heart of the season: Love!  But the reality of the season is often something completely different.  When we focus on things, money, being people pleasers, it often sends us into a downward spiral and the season that is supposed to be one of joy and love, becomes one tragedy and heartache.

The Accident!

The accident can be any number of things.  The pictures and video are of car accidents, these often occur during the holidays because people are drinking and follow that up with driving.  This is a no win situation for everyone involved, especially those that have to survive the loss or permanent injuries from said drunk driver.  While television, movies and commercials all tend to want to glorify  drinking.  The reality is that it does no one any good.  Sin after all is pleasurable for a season, but the reality is that drinking soon gets a hold of you, rather than you getting ahold of it.

The accident can also be a fire.  House fires are more prominent than people think during the winter because of unattending candles, pets, dry trees and christmas lights that are too hot for their own good.  Neither of these or any number of accidents are every planned, they just ‘happen’, which is why we call them accidents.

Burns And Other Winter Injuries!

Burns are one of those things that you don’t think about in the winter, but they occur all to often.  Why and how?  You can start with all the baking that people do that don’t normally back.  Suddenly it’s time to bake cookies, cakes, pies, turkeys, family dinners and parties.  Suddenly the kitchen has gone from being dormant to a place of much activity.  The only problem is you’re rusty and forget things like oven mitts and you now have a third degree burn.

Then there’s the fireplace.  You stand to close, have the stockings near the fire and well, poof you have your burn.  That fun  season is suddenly not so fun and you are spending more time at the doctors then you wish.  Speaking of doctors, consider that when you have one of slip and fall that you can go to an urgent care (Boca Regional Urgent Care is wonderful in this area if you live in Florida), instead of your regular doctor.  They will see you much faster and get you the attention and relief from pain that you experience do to any of these events.

Frostbite is another thing that you need to be conscious of.  It happens faster then most people think.  It takes a mere 30 minutes and damage can begin to occur.  While this may not seem that short of a period of time, in children it can occur faster and the result be much more dangerous, even life threatening.

Reasons To Sell Your Timeshare

There are many reasons that people get involved in things.  Sometimes it’s for the experience.  They want to grow and learn and just reap whatever they can from it.  Sometimes it’s for gain.  Financial gain is usually what people think about in this area.  They are going to gain resources and move ahead or take care of something unexpected.  Whether the reason is good or right to you, the point still the same, you get involved in things for various reasons.  The same is true for Timeshares.

Life Happens! 

 

Life happening is probably the number one reason why someone gives up their timeshare.  It’s not necessarily that they want to give up their timeshare, but things have happened in their life which has prompted them to have to sell their timeshare.  Some examples of things that happen are:

  • A divorce.  Many people refused to fight over a time share.  Or worse yet, neither wants the other to have their home in the Bahama’s so the only option that they see is to sell the timeshare.
  • An allergy develops.  If you have children, you know that allergies can develop at any point in time.  It’s not something that you can plan or determine, it just happens.  If you have a timeshare that is in a part of the world where allergic material can abound, then you may have no other option than to get rid of  your timeshare.

 

 

Politics:

When you first got your timeshare, you may have never considered that there would be political problems where you got your timeshare, but low and behold as the world platform has changed, the government is now having problems keeping your region stable.  Therefor, you don’t feel comfortable staying or vacationing at your timeshare, so you decide to get rid of it.  It’s understandable, especially if your timeshares in one of those volatile parts of the world.  Selling may be the only option you feel good about.

Use

The best laid plans of mice and men says that you can make plans, but they don’t always work out the way that you think they will.  Enter timeshares!  When people buy a timeshare, they intend to use it, but sometimes things don’t work out the way that we plan.  In this case, being able to use it.  This lack of use, can come about several different ways.

  • To Busy~ Often times we get things with the intent on using them, but then we turn about and get too busy!  This also can be the case with timeshares.  You may look at having one for that yearly vacation, but next thing you know the years have drifted by and you’ve never used it.  It’s a sad reality, but most of us mean to take vacations, but we never get around to them.
  • Unrealistic with your schedule ~ Along the same lines as use is  the area that you got your timeshare with the intent of using it during a given period of time.  Maybe a certain holiday is your preference for whatever reason, but suddenly there’s someone else with more seniority than you have, and well, you never get to use it when you plan.  Therefor it becomes a waste of money for you and your family.  The end result is that you don’t use it.

Life’s Reality!

The reality in life is that sometimes when you start something with the best intentions, things don’t work out the way you plan and the end result is that you have to discontinue or change what your initial plans were.  Don’t feel bad if this is the case.  Simply make the changes that you need to make in order for your life and your families to be functional.  And if this should mean that you need to get rid of your timeshare, then do so…unapologetically!
