Excellent thoughts my friend, i agree with your points self employment is always great and it also provide us freedom to live and in this way we always have a good amount of time to spent with family and friends, which is absolutely important in one's life, i think you made a wise decision today just to sit at home and spent time with family because it's not good to go outside in such heavy snowfall, wishing you a very joyful week ahead my friend, Stay happy
