May 26th

As from today I will not be updating my blog for a while.

Regular visitors will know that I have had big problems

with pain in my neck and arm.

Tomorrow I am going in to hospital for surgery,

hopefully this will remedy the situation and give me back my life.

I am sure I will be well looked after by the neurosurgeon

and nursing staff.

When I return home I will have family and friends

who will carry on that task for a few weeks.

I know that Sue and Julie have had practice at using their nursing

skills before but that was quite a few years ago!!!

“If you were all alone in the universe with no one to talk to,

no one with which to share the beauty of the stars,

to laugh with, to touch,

what would be your purpose in life?

It is other life, it is love, which gives your life meaning.

This is harmony.

We must discover the joy of each other,

the joy of challenge, the joy of growth.”
~Mitsugi Saotome (b. 1937), Aikido instructor, author

With everything going on in my life at the moment having

friends and family close to me is very important.

“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle,

and the life of the candle will not be shortened.

Happiness never decreases by being shared.”
