Yes, I have not posted to my blog in a while and yes there is a reason for it. I have been a little busy trying to get things in order. By things things i mean life issues. The first issue that arose was my dog. He was diagnosed with this common disease within his breed (Datsun). The one true way to get rid of it is surgery. The cost of surgery is $2500-3000. Truth be told, couldn't afford it, so we had to do the next best thing, let nature take it's course and see if he gets better. In the meanwhile we had to continue with his daily routine which is taking him out by hand and sitting with him while he uses the bathroom and help him stand up while he is doing it. This is what has been taking my time away from blogging because he had to get use to using the bathroom a different way. Now, he won't use the bathroom if my wife takes him out...only when I take him out. So now that he has his routine back and his eating schedule is back on pace, I am able to leave home early enough to blog before I go to work.
The other issues that have occured are work related. They've asked us to start coming in earlier and that's not good for me because I get all of my writing done in the mornings and I can't get them done at night because my computer doesn't cooperate with my Sprint wifi device. I need to purchase another computer to make my life a little easier, but I have to wait. I have to take care of home before I take care of myself.
And that's what it's all about...taking care of home before you take care of yourself. My dog and my wife are my family and I have to make sure they are taken care of before anything is done for Kelvin. I have to make sure he has his medicine and goes to the bathroom before I leave for work. I know that he is on a schedule so if the guys want to meet up after work, I have to decline and go home and take care of him. It's only temporary and that's the least I can do for the little guy since he has been so devoted to me. Greeting me every day I get off work and never complaining about anything I do. He never asked me for more than what I was giving him. And if he did, he would only ask for more attention and play time. Make sure that home is taken care of before you take care of yourself and you will see that self will get taken care of just because you put self last and family first. This is how God wants it to be. When you take this action, he notices and will make sure that you are well taken care of. If you don'y believe me, try it. I am back to blogging because I took care of home first. What will you do? Will you take care home before you take care of self?
