I am sorry you still feel ill, sometimes these things take a while to budge and only rest will do it.<br /><br />You are the second person I've heard from this week suffering the taste of 'empty nest'. It will feel worse because your energy is low, as you say, but then when you are well you shall flourish and fly. A new chapter will begin and you shall always be loved and needed by your brood. You will be busy and well and happy.Reasonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03070633072307321162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163144501473367922.post-67162258121706319262009-07-22T09:04:44.920-07:002009-07-22T09:04:44.920-07:00hi there! as soon as i saw the al merrick board i ...hi there! as soon as i saw the al merrick board i thought you would be from SB, and looking at your profile, you are!

Normally the sweltering heat forces you inside.<br /><br />As I step out on to my back porch every morning I greet the new day with a stretch and a thanks. I always ask my dog, "What good things do you think are going to happen today?" He never answers, but I know he appreciates the thought.<br /><br />You are very wise to surround yourself in beauty and look upon it all with gratitude. Heed your friend's advice and soak in the rest and quiet. <br /><br />I see you sitting in a sunny corner surrounded in healing light.Pyzahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13629594885566073764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163144501473367922.post-54982281022167947412009-07-21T13:08:22.870-07:002009-07-21T13:08:22.870-07:00Dear Lori, you must rest,your friend and the docs ...Dear Lori, you must rest,your friend and the docs are right.<br />And take it easy even if your sad at the quiet.<br />I hope you have lots of sunshine to sit in the shade and enjoy the warmth on your resting body.<br />Here on the other hand have rain lots and lots and lots of it...<br />xxFire Byrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05477692359400671374noreply@blogger.com
