Yesterday was, for the most part, an uneventful day for me. Getting settled back into our home has been the focus for both my wife and I and of course, getting our business to grow in a sluggish market has been a top priority. The morning started out relatively quiet so I used the opportunity to organize my office, send out a few emails and make a few phone calls. During the course of the morning and to my surprise two of my past customers contacted me for new work so that put a little zip in my step. I like feeling useful and I love being creative, and my job lets me do both.
Years ago my dad once said that "heaven is a kingdom of use. People in heaven don't just sit around doing nothing- they have a use." Being useful is a blessing, but idle hands can most certainly become the devil's workshop. I am grateful each day for the gifts and the talents that I have been given and that I have been able to cultivate over many years. My customers are quite aware of my talents and they respect me and they appreciate the quality of work that I do for them, and the swiftness in which I can accomplish tasks. It's a rewarding feeling being useful and I am always appreciative for the work.
Being busy, the right kind of busy can truly be a blessing, especially if you work for yourself. So we keep plugging away until tomorrow. The glass is most certainly half full today.
