Back in the Saddle, again.

After a week of lying in bed unable to do much more than slurp vitamin water and popsicles, I am ready to be back at work.

It is a strange thing to have your body give out on you. Fevers up around 104 are debilitating and give everything a strange surreal quality. Sometimes, despite your focus and enthusiasm for working, the body just isn't having it.

This time last week I had a long list of to-dos and a huge amount of excitement for the next phase of business I was about to take on. My new virtual assistant had just started and was working away on our goals and I wanted to be doing the same, but every time I picked up a book, I couldn't read more than a sentence. Bummer.

We've all had these times when something yanks our focus away from the task at hand and trying to get back on track feels like riding a bucking bronco. So the thing to learn at those times is to surrender. I had no choice- health issues are good about that.

Sometimes the most efficient thing to do is to get off the bronco and let it rest a few days. Then, maybe, you'll stay on with ease when riding.

Give yourself a break. Life happens. it happened to me, and hard. But I'm back today and ready to go. You'll come back, too. Just trust your intentions and all will be well.

Happy Monday!
