Hello everyone and happy belated New Year!!

[Ecumenist]

I don't know that anyone had noticed my absence but I was out of pocket for a little while because I moved, (we bought a bank owned home that needed ALOT of work, though it has mostly cosmetic, thank God) and then almost bought the farm by contracting double walking pneumonia. By the time it was diagnosed, I was going into congestive heart failure. Never knew I was sick and always thought pneumonia would hurt. Evidently, I was trying to do too much, not getting rest and not tending to myself. It was scary realising how close I came to being reunited with my ancestors.

I just thankful to be here and I wanted to let everyone know that I've missed you all VERY much.

I'm sorry to hear that you were so sick.
But you are well for the start of the Year of the Tiger.

5. Thank you Sanity Claws....LOL!

I know that Chinese New Year begins this weekend but I referring to the one that began on the 1st of January. I'm hoping that this year is much more prosperous, lucky and healthy.

2. Wow, glad to have you back

And that you feel better.

Are you back full strength?

[Ecumenist]

4. Not quite yet...but I'm getting there..

Despite all the dire prognosis regarding heart damage and no coming back, I started on a high dose Coenzyme Q10, Taurine and Carnosine regimen and my doctor is amazed. I recently started a once a week internet radio show giving free readings but I plan to increase the days I broadcast. I won't be stupid again, not getting enough rest. I learned my lesson, trust me. lol!!
