“The RoseBouquet”

All that talk about Christmas mail? Well, to a large degree it has to take second place to clients and email catchup. My hours for personal business efforts have been sacrificed lately, but I’m looking forward to my spiritual retreat time between Christmas and New Year’s when I will prayerfully, carefully go over my daily and weekly schedules to see what has to go to make room for new projects.

I’ll feel better when I can point to a project and say, “When project one and project two get done on Thursday nights, then it’ll be your turn in that block of time.”

We’ll see what happens when the Lord and I take time to talk all these details over more thoroughly.

I have yet another client lined up this week for web hosting, but that should be a very easy one to set up and maintain.

There’s one more in the wings!

I had thought of declaring one of these busy weeks before Christmas a vacation, just so I could get caught up on some projects, and push for a few hours on my neglected sequel novel. But right now with new clients coming out of the woodwork, I better just ease up on my own business hours, and give some of them up.

It also looks like 2007 may be a year of training and interning others. Two new friends have expressed an interest to learn some of the skills I have. One in conjunction with one of the new sites. Another person is a good possibility too. My thoughts the last few weeks have been strongly on my dreams for training interns, but it looked like I wouldn’t be able to start as long as I am Dad’s caregiver. Maybe, if i just wait and see, God will show me that there are more than one way to attain that goal.

How about you? Have you ever been convinced there was only one way something could happen; then to discover that it can be accomplished in a few other ways too? That’s an embarrassing, yet encouraging spot to be in, isn’t it?
