Home Sweet Home Office

My last post was not meant to be depressing. I did not think that it was until I answered the question asked by a fellow blogger. The question was about specific examples of changes that are coming. Hopefully I can explain myself a bit better here.

My work life is not different than my personal life. I consider my life integrated between work and personal and it is very difficult to know where one starts and one ends. Before you say “ahh” don’t. I prefer it this way.

Even though my business does not allow me to work from home all of the time I have a home office that is used constantly for business. My bookwork, my employee’s payroll and my life planning takes place here. When I return home in the evening I sit down right here to talk to all of you.

I feel strongly about everything that I do. The little details do not always mean as much as the big picture however. For example, my writing is important to me – not the pretty details that surround it. I do not like change for the sake of change. It is important for all of us to realize that change will affect each of us in a different way. One size very seldom fits all and the unintended consequences can be damaging to some.

After spending several years organizing my future and suddenly seeing it all change through no want of my own is disconcerting. Organizing is not supposed to work that way. The basics should stay the same and only little tweaks should be necessary.

Looking forward is what keeps me moving forward. I need that carrot hanging out there in front of me – reminding me of what I am working so hard for. Big plans take time to achieve and I admit it feels like much has been ripped away. I am resilient. I will find a way to get what I want and need. The rest of the world needs to do the same.

You probably sense the confusion that I feel and I suspect that you probably feel much the same way. I try not to think too much about the small stuff because I think that I have that handled. I practice what I preach – especially about staying organized.

I am confident that we will all work our way through the changes and challenges to come. I appreciate every opportunity and I will make the best of each and every one of them – that includes communicating with you. Thank You.
