If you’ve been at home business for very long you know how time consuming it can be. You really have to be dedicated to running your home business in order to be a success. That often means long hours, late nights, working when you’re sick and so forth.

Some distractions are not so easily dealt with, and that’s what I’m facing personally right now. My grandfather died yesterday, and such an emotionally charged event cannot help but distract me. Not to mention travel time to and from the funeral.

I vary between working hard to distract myself and taking a break to be with my own thoughts. It’s not easy, but what else can I do? I’m not the sort to just sit.

It’s interesting to see how I’m coping. At 34 years old, this is the first time someone close to me has died. I know that’s pretty unusual, but there it is.
