Still Alive

Hello all,

I hope this message finds everyone well. My deepest thanks for your concern. I truly appreciate the kind comments and well wishes. Please forgive me if my replies are less than timely.

I’ve been offline a bit for a multitude of reasons.

First, I was involved in a project at work which required me to switch my schedule around. My sleep has been far from ideal. I have also been working in 100-plus degree temperatures for the better part of a week, and it has been quite physically demanding.

Secondly, I have been having an internal debate with myself about something for a very, very long time, and I still have not come to a definite conclusion.

Or, I have, and I just haven’t committed to it yet.

Irrelevant, I suppose. When I know, I’ll know.

The main point of this post was to say I’m alive, and thank you all for your concern. You are a fine group of people, and I am extremely grateful to know you.

Your wit, your eloquence, and your passion are gifts to be cherished. Embrace them, my friends.

Take care.

  5. I hope you have some popsicles to help with the heat! It is kind of you to share an update – you didnโ€™t owe us one, of course, but it is appreciated. I hope you are well rested, in more moderate temperatures, and have decided/concluded on the matter hinted at in your post soon.

    1. They provide some things, yes.
      No, I don’t owe anyone, I suppose, but it felt like the right thing to do in this instance.

      I have not decided, but when I do, it will be crystal clear to me.

      Thanks much. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜Š

  6. Glad you are ok and I hope you can get some relief of the very high temperatures in the forms of ice pops or cold drinks or something. Very hard to work in hot temperatures.
