Christmas Blessings!

Again, my sincere apologies! This month has been unusually busy, and I’ve coped fairly well, because just as one stage of starting my new business for January was done, the resources were there for the next one. I took on an extra job which has been eating time up by the clock full as I try to prove I can do this. Between whiles I’m sneaking in some time on my Christmas mailing too.

This morning I got up before 4 am, to go with my neighbours to the airport, and then to bring back their Durango. However, it was too cold so the airline would not allow them to take along the dog they want to give to their grandson. We returned and went back to bed for a few hours.

All the while I was beginning to feel feverish and with swollen tonsils…. I’ve taken alternative health measures, and allowed myself to work at a slower pace at home. But after 11 am. we made another run to the airport. This time the temperatures had come up enough so they could take Noka along. In all of this I plumb forgot about this eAction blog/ezine!

Now the day is almost done, but I’ve managed to get more legal documents sorted out for my business. Last week I managed to get the painting done, some wall-papering and steam-cleaning over there in my office suite, but if you’ve been watching for an email from me…. I’m truly sorry, I’ve really neglected those because I’m hoping I can catch up with them over the holidays.

For those of you who like my long chatty Christmas letters, you’re welcome to this year’s. I managed to get it online on Tuesday morning. Go to read and/or download it from this page; Eventful Year 2007. It is a review and photo story of my very Eventful Year, and a tour of my little house.

I do wish you my heartiest Christmas Blessings, and the hope that 2008 may turn out to be for you and your business, just GREAT!

I’m going to stop making promises about next issues. Just know that my blogs are important to me, and when at all possible you’ll discover I’ve written something on schedule.

When things settle down to a dull roar in the new year, I’ll fill you in on my adventures in starting up a small business in a rented office suite.

God is so Good! Sometimes that’s evident in all the work He gives us! :)

Apologies - Lots of Life is Happening

I was starting an entry on using pico in shell last time, but a long distance call came in and swallowed up all the time I had saved for this blog.

Things have got still busier for me in the last two weeks, as I’m preparing some offices for a business I will start in January. Literally, I’ve been away from my computer for about three days in a row, both last week and this week. That means I’m way-way-behind in a lot of things.

On top of everything else, my old computer refused to accept a new hard drive when I tried install it over Dec 1-3, so I had to give up and get another computer. Setting it up ate up a couple of days too!

So-o, I’m begging off here, and may not get back to this until January. Even then, my schedule may be rocky at first, as I’m going to be takiugn on interns, and until I’ve taught them the basics, I will still be very short on time for my usual blog entries. Once my internship plan is rolling along smoothly, I’ll be able to delegate some of my work to them, and get back to writing here and in other areas of commitment with more focus and time.

May you have a blessed Christmas and New Year, and may all the interruptions that happen to you, be for improvements and greater success in the end too.

This is a quick note to say

that there won’t be an issue of the eAction this week. I’m very busy cleaning and preparing an office suite for a new business to start in January. I simply can’t be in two places at the same time. Hopefully I can give you a full update on the 20th of this month.

Take these extra minutes you’re gaining by not reading a full issue to catch up on your own work load. :)
