dear all, i started early friday with such a bright hope for the day. so many haiku to visit, so many bright promises to fulfill. my day turned quickly on its heels into what became a living hell. for the last three weeks i have been battling extreme health concerns, i share this only to explain why i have been so hard pressed in visiting and leaving comments. yesterday took me to the very edge and this morning although i made it through an adverse med reaction with horrible vertigo, i am weak and undone. i do not like to write about my health issues, something i combat everyday to stay upright and among the living. but i see more and more of our haiku family dwindling away and i am sure many may have mistaken why, and taken it personally that i have failed to visit. this morning i am going to stay up long enough to be sure you all know that you have brought me comfort in my darkest hours without even knowing. for your kindness and patience i thank you with all my heart.
Ah wonderful! If we expect fulfillment, we look no further. His are about the only ones we can trust in this world, in this life. It's nice to think of that new life to come.
oh rebecca, I am so sorry you are having these health struggles! I am praying for your recovery and strength. And don't worry, I'm sure most everyone would understand you need to take care of yourself. Peace and be well!
