“The RoseBouquet”

My business hours are having to flex and bounce with the other things happening. Sometimes they just have to lie down and let me walk over them with other activities. This is the “Home Business” advantage. If you’re the boss, you can re-arrange your agenda.

I did plan last week to give up the weekend for serious, pushing to bring three the work of three clients to a plateau where I could set them aside for a while, and also to catch up on emails. I didn’t get quite to that goal, but much closer. Now one site is back in the hands of the owner who thinks she can do it now after a long tutorial, another one needs two more pages, which I’ll finish tonight, yet another one - just needs a well-written tutorial and it can go back into the owner’s hands too. I am hoping that can happen today as well. Then I’ll go back to my schedule for 2007 and get back some time for my own business ventures again.

I’m including another article on the topic of sisters. I hope you are not weary of that yet. I have a feeling though, that with what we are going through on the home front, my topics may soon shift to caregiving themes. It’s just easier to write about whatever your mind is full of.

Any time I take off an afternoon to go to the city, I fall behind on three hours of email-answering and I have to squeeze in time elsewhere until I get that caught up once more. I’m counting on my friends to be understanding if I seem to neglect them a few days. Fortunately, I have many good friends who are just that - understanding.

Look, they send wonderful emails like this;

“I’m praying for your Dad and for you…..asking for strength and peace of mind through this period. I’ll look forward to reading your Ezine and staying in touch. No need to reply to this unless the spirit moves you to do that. I know you are dealing with a lot of mixed feelings right now and I know you are surrounded by the prayers of many who benefit from your wisdom exactly the way I do!”
Hugs,

“A big WHOOPS… I tried to check out the pictures in this weeks email and could not do so… it is written in html. See below… So I clicked on your address but instead hit the wrong address and unsubscribed myself Then I resubscribed myself!! I hope I’m still on your list and get to see the pictures of the snow.. I did read about the lump in your Dad’s larynx… Keep positive thoughts about this, and when he gets his operation it will be that the lump is negative. I’ll be doing a lot of praying for you and your Dad.” Tess

I do have a positive joy in the knowledge that our loving Heavenly Father is in charge and is going to work everything out for our good and for His glory and praise! However, I agree with our doctor B. that the specialist is not likely to operate in Dad’s case. He’s a diabetic and less than a month from 91 - he probably would not recover. Besides Dad is very squeamish about pain. When he hurts, he wants to die.
