I just adore that Disney flick, finding Nemo. Dora has the worst short term memory problem and yet that doesn't stop her. She just keeps swimming, even through all of those obstacles that got in her way from Sharks to just not know which way to go.

I think we can learn something from her, she had no past to worry about, she had no future to worry about. She just kept on swimming through everything.

The january cold came in this week in Vancouver, WA and the temperatures got below 15 degrees. Our pipes froze, that dreaded F word during the winter time. Normally, I call the landlord and have them fix it, but not this time. This time I have to fix it myself with the help of some of my family.

Out there in the freezing cold, I can count how many times I wanted to give up. Ever try to watch a pot of water boil? Try thawing out pipes without having them burst with a blueberry bush behind you shoving it's sharp pointy spikes up your butt.

What kept me going is thinking about Dora and how there are things that we just have to do to get to where we want to go. Building a Business is much like that, traffic isn't coming in, no one is signing up through your website. The past is horrible and the future looks bleak.

I just have one word for you, Just keep swimming. :)
