the magazine<\/a> is not typing, but rather copy and pasting, as is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.horizonsmagazine.com\/Andrea\/WebsitesIcreate.html\" target=\"_blank\">the website work<\/a> I love to play with.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 My visitor knows I work alone, so she asked why I don&#8217;t get someone to help me so I could rest my arms while they healed.\u00a0 The answer is one of the big blessings of my life.\u00a0 Since I work for myself on my own schedule and mostly from home, when I&#8217;m having a flareup, I have the luxury of working an hour here and an hour there throughout the day and evening.\u00a0 When it bothers me, I stop and go do something else awhile.\u00a0 There&#8217;s plenty to do but it&#8217;s all do-able and I kind of love every aspect of my work.\u00a0 So I find that, as <a href=\"http:\/\/abraham-hicks.com\" target=\"_blank\">Abraham-Hicks<\/a> says, if I set my mind to it, I can eat an elephant one bite at a time.<\/p>\n<p>RELATED:\u00a0 <a
