You never know when or how an unexpected situation will arise and put a boulder in the middle of your road to success. How we deal with this is what will define us as entrepreneurs.

Saturday was geared up to be a very productive day for me. I had my very first IM article approved on Street Articles, created a new blog post on my website and was fine tuning a draft for a new web page. Unfortunately, one of my dogs had a very violent seizure that lasted almost 10 minutes.

My 3 year old dog was recently diagnosed with epilepsy, but since his seizures were mild, short and only occurred about once a month, our vet recommended that we do not put him on any type of treatments yet (seizure medication usually causes kidney and liver damage and can significantly shorted a dog's life). Saturday's seizure changed that. He started out with a "normal" seizure that lasted almost 3 minutes, but when he started to come out of it, he lapsed back into it. The second seizure was horrifying and we ended up taking an emergency trip to the vet.

Since this incident pretty much interrupted all of my work for the weekend (Sundays are a dedicated family day - NO work!), I am going to start again today right where I left off and just keep moving forward. I could fret about a lost day, but that will be counter productive. And who knows, I may have uncovered a new niche. I have started researching epilepsy in dogs and may set up a website for dog owners going through the same thing. Even if it will not be a money making site, it can help other people understand what their pet is going through and make it easier for them.

Have a great day everyone!
