I'm back!!
It has been a nice break for me but, boy, does readership go down when you're not blogging! And I didn't have that much to begin with, so now I feel like I'm starting all over. But that's okay! It's the beginning of a new year and I'm ready to come back to the blog world.
1. Christine. Since my blog break, Christine has checked on me several times and I can't tell you how much I appreciate that. I have not even been good at responding to her while I have been on my break and she keeps letting me know that she's thinking of me and praying for me. It is so wonderful to know that a new cyber-friend is there for me and thinking about me. THANK YOU, CHRISTINE!!
2. A nice slow week for catching up at home. This has been a wonderful week for me to spend at home without too many outside commitments. I have so much calling for my attention and when I spend days out and about, I don't feel like I have accomplished very much on my to-do list here at home. This week I have been able to catch up on a few things and organize (mostly in my head) how I'm going to get some other things caught up and finished. I feel like it has been a productive week instead of a harried one full of other commitments and I love that!
3. I'm writing a blog post! I was beginning to wonder if that was over going to happen again! Exciting!
4. I have a "word" for 2010. It is HOPE. I have lost sight of it more and more as the past few years have gone by and I want to do my best to re-gain it this year.
5. I found my original planner pages this week! A few short years ago, I decided I wanted to create and market homeschool planners. I spent countless hours creating planner pages, printing them out, binding them and marketing them. Business was pretty fair considering I didn't have many funds to work with for advertisement, and Facebook and blogging weren't viable marketing options at the time. I gave it up after just a few months when printing off my printer became too big of an expenditure and I couldn't find a good option elsewhere. BUT I decided a few months ago I would like to try it again by marketing e-planners. Send me payment via paypal and I send you a planner via email. Love that! But one small problem. We had gotten a new computer and the original planner pages were on the old one somewhere in the dark recesses of the shed out back. My husband found the old computer for me this week when he took the Christmas decorations back out to the shed. We dusted it off, and prayed that it still worked well enough to find the pages and transfer them to the new computer. After some trial and error and the assistance of our 12-year-old daughter, they have all been successfully transferred over. Now all that is left is taking the pages and combining them into one document (I wasn't too organized apparently during my first business endeavor), updating some areas and making a few changes, creating a pdf document from it, and hopefully selling a few. It may take a while because I have "several" projects and duties lined up in addition to that one, but it will eventually get done and I'm excited about it!
