Warm Water - So Healing

It's amazing what a little warm water can do. My hands have been cramping a lot lately, probably because I log so many hours working on my projects - which means a LOT of typing all day long. Anyway, I was thinking - I'd love to go get a paraffin dip at the spa, because my hands ached.

I thought, gee - it's the warmth I crave mostly, so I went to my kitchen sink and turned on warm to hot water and just left my hands under them for about 1 full minute, not washing or scrubbing them, just letting the warm water fall over my hands....

It's amazing how good they feel. That silly little 1 minute saved me from putting menthol on them to stop the cramping....saved me money from getting a paraffin dip at the spa....and reminded me the best answers are usually simple and right in front of us.

So today, at my kitchen sink - I healed my aching hands in about 1 minute --- until next time, but I know that sink is right there if they start to cramp and ache again.

Quickly Catching Up

The weather was incredible this weekend. I spent a lot of time wandering about..going out for a drive, shopping, checking out handmade beaded jewelry, sitting outside with the dogs, and just enjoying the warm air in general. The weather has turned though and now it's too gloomy for me this week, so I'll get a lot of work accomplished inside. I'll be focused on a couple new domains. I'm trying to get a lot more work done by the middle of July when I'll be taking a vacation with my son.

I'm getting excited at the prospect of travel, because I spent so many hours in my office working on my projects. Being self-employed, I know I can only rely on myself for advancement. I'm happy with how far it's come, but I still have a long way to go.

I made a large transition during the last 18 months and changed my focus. It was hard to take the risk, but I'm finding it's paying off. I'm working hard now, the final payoff is passive income, which will continue even after I've finished the projects.
