Help Yourself

I've been spending most of this morning as well as the past few days talking on the phone with area services, along with preparing the groundwork for future sources of income. There is a lot of work to be done, but I have found that if I do a little bit each day, it doesn't seem quite so overwhelming.

In addition, I find myself feeling proud of making progress through these little accomplishments. I told my friend the other day that I have found that being proactive and having a good attitude tends to help "grease the wheels" when working with different businesses (i.e. mortgage company, utilities). Granted, they do need to get paid – they are a business, after all. But knowing that I am at least taking on my part, my responsibility probably makes the process easier for them. At this I am only guessing. Perhaps I am naïve in that way of thinking, but perhaps I am better off being naïve in this aspect rather than drowning in my cynicism.

All I know is since I've been working with people, my future does indeed look better.
