Dealing with distractions.

I made a comment to a member of the community that I was trying to get back on track, well I am, and I will. There are things that happen in life that you have no choice but to deal with them. I've been researching for an article that I vowed would be my best, I've been following and trying to digest all the tutorials that involves writing good content and presenting it in a way that my audience would enjoy and not tire of. I am still learning basic computer skills and have to sometime do things the old fashion way, taking lots of notes, bookmarking and such. I gave myself a good talking to. My involvement in the community, the quick response I get when I holler for help, the encouragement given in daily doses and the honesty of those who have been involved with WA for a good amount of time, has made me a believer. They let you know straight up that there is no such thing as a get rich quick thing, they let you know that yes, you can be a success here, but just as we've been told all our lives, you must put in time and effort, be determined and stay focused. Well I had a very disturbing distraction, the sudden death of a friend who I saw, happy, appeared healthy, and was blessed to have a good fellowship with the night before she passed.Can you say STUNNED? Yes I was indeed. This is what prompted me to write this blog instead of my article. I could not get my thoughts together for my article, so I decided to write this blog. In writing this blog, I feel I am still moving forward. My point is, there are going to be distractions, if they prevent you from doing what you had planned, do something else that is taking you in the same direction. I couldn't get it together to write my article, but writing this blog has made me feel better as well as helping me achieve my goal here at WA.
