I'm The Prodigal Son

I've Been Out For A Couple of Months

I've let life get in my way. Things like getting our house ready for sale, Covid, my wife having surgery, and other stuff have conspired together to pull me away from my online business.

I'm coming back now. It's time to refocus and make this work.

I noticed that in the two or three months that I've been inactive, that my rank has gone from the 200s to almost 10,500. Makes me realize that things are moving forward without me.

One thing that I've noticed, once you stay away for a while, it's easier and easier to stay away.

I'll be sitting in my recliner watching TV, flipping through the channels, annoyed that there's nothing good to watch. Do I get up and get on the computer? Not until now.

I'll be away for a few more days while my bride and I go look for a new place to live, then I'll be back.

I'm curious to learn how things have changed here while I was away.

Everyone stay safe and have a great day!

I'm Grant.
