Absence Makes The Heart Grow…
Well, as it turns out that 5 days turned into months. I’ve been around a little here and there but I’ve mostly been taking some time out to get some things done and checking my priorities. Unfortunately this came about just as the album was released and I have had little time to do anything in way of promoting. I am thankful to still hear from listeners who are enjoying the album. I’m glad some people have picked up on it, despite my absence.
I can’t say I really regret the time away though. It’s been a season of change and growth. Some things that have come down the pike have been difficult and challenging. I have had some health issues over the past 6 months due to a Flu that turned into Pneumonia. The recovery has been slow, so I am very much looking forward to the Summer months!
Another situation that we’ve been dealing with is that my dear sweet cat, SnOoPy, has been experiencing health problems as well. I am sad to say it does not look good at this time. He was first diagnosed with Diabetes, but just as we were getting his blood sugar stabilized we found out he is also having heart failure. Anyone who has ever had to care for a dying pet that they felt especially close to understands how painful and stressful it is.
The good thing in all of this is that it has forced me to slow down and focus on the positive things and appreciate them all the more. Sometimes life throws a curve ball but you don’t have to surrender. You can choose to get back up and realize that things could be much worse. There are too many things in life worth celebrating. I hope everyone has a great Summer and makes the most of it!
