I Think I Can 9/23/2005 4:35:42 PM
How does an old woman get herself into this kind of stuff? The answer is that my husband is disabled. So guess who is becoming the jack-of-all-trades?
Before I finished writing my book, I was a seamstress. I had a separate sewing room, with an outside entrance to that room. That way my customers did not have to go into any part of my house when they brought me stuff to work on. Well, since I finished writing the book, I have given up my sewing business. I am spending my time now doing inter-net marketing and promotion for the book. By the way, the title is BY HANDS OF STRANGERS. And I am also doing free-lance writing for AllAboutGod.com which takes up a good bit of my time.
So what is this jack-of-all trades I was talking about? I cracked through the wall which was separating my former sewing room from the rest of the house. Then I went to Lowe's home improvement center to buy a door. I have the opening framed in already, but the door is not installed yet. That will be Monday's work. Sore! Every muscle is complaining!
But I feel a little bit like the little blue engine in the children's story, I Think I Can. Little blue engine had a very important job to do, too hard for her she thought. But there was no one else around to do it so she tried. " I think I can, I think I can, I think I can." After much chugging and panting she succeded. Then she raced home " I thought I could. I thought I could. I thought I could." I don't remember who the author was, but it is a good lesson.
