It's good that you put your health first. It may take a long time - a year or two - for you to really feel like your old self again. But your positive attitude tells me that you will be just fine.<br /><br />Best wishes & hugs,<br />Anna<br /><br /><a href="http://annas-adornments.blogspot.se/2013/10/insecure-writers-support-group-for_4516.html" rel="nofollow">Anna's ISWG for October</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17926688000745346961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002113089297135210.post-6964623788766393252013-10-04T08:50:30.330-05:002013-10-04T08:50:30.330-05:00Big cyber hug back at you!!! {{}}} If you'd ev...Big cyber hug back at you!!! {{}}} If you'd ever like a beta for your query/synopsis, let me know...Deniz Bevanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17134553551048836979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002113089297135210.post-32876102230382969062013-10-03T20:58:41.520-05:002013-10-03T20:58:41.520-05:00Again, so thankful you're mended, Michael.
Th...Again, so thankful you're mended, Michael.<br /><br />This is a wonderful post. Time is precious and does have amazing power over us. I find myself vacillating often over what needs my attention next. Is there ever a time something won't need my attention, leaving me to just relax? Yet, is that why I'm here? To relax? <br /><br />I always come back to the same ideal: it's all about balance. <br /><br />Major GRATS! on your logo success. Whoot!S.A.

I have never felt pressure as a writer because I know we are all treated equally. We are given the period from sunrise to sunset. How we use it is a question of priorities.
