A deadly virus threatens my home. A computer related virus.

I have located virus and even discovered its name.

WHAT'S MY NAME?

The name is ... Lee.

Several code names identify nature of this in house killer. You may recognize a one or two of them.

*Preoccupation *Forgetfulness *Out of balance *Insensitivity *Self-centered *Misplaced priorities *Overwork *Clueless

A DARK SIDE

Yes, I enjoy my part-time business. I appreciate being able to work at home.

I love working in my own house. On my own computer. In my own way.

Who wouldn't?

But...

Love for my at home business can have a dark side: forgetting my business at home!

PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE

There is a bright side to this. Really! And bright side is me.

I have power to practice preventative medicine. I'll prescribe just two for starters. You can expand my thoughts with your own list.

LISTEN AND RESPOND

Miracle of miracles: my chair turns around. In a moment's time I can turn that creative masterpiece around and do something special.

Face my family member!

Imagine that -- I can turn "screen time" into "I love you time" as quick as I can access that oh-so-very-important web page!

Then I can listen and respond. Really hear. Really listen. And really respond.

Just as if cared. Really.

Yeah, I know it's overkill on "really" but I am trying to make a point: because I don't always find myself in winner's seat on this one.
