Hello to All,

Elfina, I'm holding Pat in my thoughts and will definitely be sending out healing energies to him on Feb 3.

Mermaid, so sorry to hear about Nelson, and am sending out some healing thoughts to both him and Chakhotay. What a nightmare with the Vet! It's so frustrating, especially when our dear animal companions are so ill, to then get such behavior from the very individuals that are there to supposedly help...it makes a difficult time all that much harder. Our own Vet (who was a lovely man and so very good with Serena) had to take an extended leave for a family situation, which left us with a Vet who is not half as capable nor as compassionate. It made the difficulty of saying goodbye for now to Serena all that much more painful, so I can definitely relate to what you're saying there. Just very glad Nelson is now on the mend and proper notes have been emphasized in the computer in case they're needed for the future.

I'd like to ask some extra healing thoughts/prayers/energies to go out to dear Ed. He is retaining quite a bit of fluid, which is NOT what we want! His poor belly and legs have become quite bloated and they're not going down with the water pills like they usually do. He did a walk-in to his clinic last week on another matter before the fluid built up, and it took him 8 hours of sitting in there to be seen! Mind you, that's hard enough on those with average health, but for one in his condition, that's like a day long wait, bless him. So, needless to say, he's not an eager chappy to go back again and sit another 8-10 hours in the clinic waiting to be seen. So, we'll see what we can do on this end, but any extra energies would certainly help and be very appreciated.

Other than that, he is just gradually worsening, which is what his specialist said would happen. He told him, "Unfortunately, to get better by getting on the transplant list and getting a new organ, you have to get worse first." He is such a trooper, but I know this is taking a toll on him. So we just try to take it one day at a time.

Also, if you could please hold our dear friend Dave in your thoughts. He was diagnosed with lung cancer earlier this year and they took out a portion of his lung. They then put him on chemo, but it wreaked such havoc with him, that he stopped treatments this last week and is refusing any more. he told the doctors and his wife and children, that he will just take life on its terms, and if it's his time to move on, then so be it, but he did not want the quality of his life to suffer any more. He served his country in the military, and has been a champion of various charitable causes, and has always been a loyal and good friend, in other words, has served humanity in every way a person can do. So, now in his time of need, I'm asking Archangel Raphael to please bless him and help him enjoy the remainder of his life, whether it's 10 years or 10 weeks, as no one knows for certain when it's our time to cross the Rainbow Bridge.

The weather here has been truly lovely. This is the time of year why so many flock to Arizona, with temps in the 70s and sun in abundance.

Ok, going to shoot this off before going into any more of a screed, but hoping all are well and sending out healing energies and loving thoughts to you my dear friends.

Love,
Diana

Hi guys,

It's been a long time and I have missed you guys a lot.

Hathor, You and yours' sure have my love and prayers for total heath, happiness and peace. I lpve you guys GOD BLESS {{{HUGS}}}

Robynne, Glad to hear all is working out well for you. Enjoy your new home and TAKE CARE, LOVE YA. {{{HUGS}}}

Elfina, hope Pat is doing well. Ya our four legged friends do sleep a lot. One would think their lives would be a lot longer. Only wish they would. ENJOY {{{HUGS}}}

Diana, yes, it sure hurts when one of our loved four legged move on to the RAINBOW BRIDGE. They were sure strong signs after. GOD BLESS my FRIEND. Hope Ed is doing well. Whew that is a long wait. glad to hear you weren't hit with the cold spell, boy the east sure was in deep stuff. Glad I'm here in the south west of New Mexico. A bit cold but not as bad as the east. I'm thinking of you guys and sending HEALING PRAYERS AND HEALING IMAGES. Ah, the puppy bowl is coming. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH. LOVE YA BUNCHES {{{HUGS}}}

Mermaid, glad you buddy finally got better but wow, having to go through that with the vet. Dog gone, it seems stuff happens on week end when it is tough to get stuff done. I'm glad the vet got it worked out for you. Now that you have some time I'll expect you guys will drive across the pond to see us. You guys TAKE CARE AND ENJOY. OH, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO PAUL. I've been thinking about that for awhile now. GOD BLESS MY FRIENDS {{{HUGS}}}

I've been a bit disturbed because my brother and me are 180 in our beliefs. It hurts me to have to argue with him. Politics is never good to argue over as usually neither wins. So I've decided to tell what I believe and never talk of it again. I've been stewing about how to say it. People like to put labels on people so I guess I fit more in the libertarian box. GOD BLESS VERY ONE AND ENJOY.

LIGHT, LOVE & PEACE, Kermit and friends + B2. B2 here. He sure doesn't like thee way the USA is going. He fears the USA is on its way to demise.BOO HOO SENDING ALL OUR BUDDIES {{{PAWSEY HEALING AND DOGGY LOVE FOR ALL }}}

Hello dear friends {smile}

Just splashing through today as it has been a mega busy week (yet again) but I will write up more tomorrow. I just wanted to let you know that I had read the posts as they were posted (thank heavens for email notifications) and have been sending out {{healing energies}}} for both {{Ed and Dave}}} dear {[diana}}}

{{kermit}}} I think the ideal solution with your brother dear friend is to say to him that you can both agree to disagree. There is no point in either of you getting upset over your individual political views and then you can each speak about other things that you may both enjoy right? {smile} I have to run right now otherwise I would have written more but at least this can wait for your own morning time which should be arriving now as I write {smile}

{{elfina}} have been holding pat in my thoughts that all will be well for him as it is not long now. {{hugs}}}

Will be back tomorrow as we are out this evening. In the meantime if you can continue to send out some extra energies for {{{Nelson}}} as his ~problem~ will just not go away. I will write more about it tomorrow.

Til then wishing a good weekend and leaving a {{warm group hug}}}to {{{all}} who may enter.. {smile}

with love always

Finding a minute to post as I've been playing nursemaid to Pat since his surgery on the 3rd of Feb. We have visiting nurses and physical therapy 3 times a week but I still must do the exercises twice a day with him when they are not here. He has not been well since the operation running a fever everyday. They took more blood today and tomorrow we must go to the Doctor to see if he needs antibiotics. Praying it all works out for him. Thank God for good friends to help out as I am not driving and John is not here this week. Hopefully we will get good news tomorrow. Pat's leg looks wonderful all straightened out. If he has no more problems then he will have the next surgery in 5 weeks. Perhaps he will go to a nursing rehabilitation place to stay to recover as John will not be here then to help. He left yesterday for a week he will be back on Monday until the 28th then will go beck to New York.
Not much other news asking for healing energies for Pat he really need some now. I need a little too as I am feeling down, this is much more stressful then I had anticipated.

Hi everyone

Have my computer back up and running now, settled into my new home, gee its been a trip in the last year, probably for the first time in my life I have had to put myself first because of my health issues, a novel idea lol, and the guilt was terrible initially but had no other choice, and am getting the hang of it now, was not sure who to be when I wasn't taking care of everyone else first.

Am pretty much finished with the eternal round of doctors/neuro/psychiatrist/psychologist/mental health visits and feeling pretty sound most of the time. So have got my drugs sorted, sleep well, enjoying the environment in my new home, the water views are lovely.

Jase will be moving in with me as he has another pending shoulder surgery, but while I've been keeping my eye out on him, he's also been looking out for his Mum too.

End result of Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis and MRI, was that I had a new lesion in the brain in the Front Supra Orbital Lobe, but the old lesions in the spinal cord at the C3 - C5 level have reduced in size, they were initially 10-12 mm and are now 3-5 mm, so another MRI this year will sort out the state of that.

Rhianne gave birth to their new baby, Leeah Rachel was born on the 2nd February, and weighed in at 10 lbs 6 oz, a nice safe delivery, and has an Aquarian Sun, 12th house Pisces Moon and Pisces Ascendant, gee thats two grandaughters now that I share the Pisces Moon with, she's a wee snuggler, gives the best cuddles and all is going well, and Rhianne is severely addicted to her already, haha.

Life ticks on, feels like I have been given a new start but the last year has been a lot of sorting and tieing up loose ends as well as making a new beginning.


Thanks everyone for being here and always reinforcing my favourite saying:
"I know I live in my own world, its okay, they know me here"

Love to everyone

Hello dear friends {Smile}

I can’t believe that it is over two weeks since I was able to post here. It has been challenging times though for sure with the weather though the Universe has been kind to us in that we are not under water as lots of poor folk are in the UK. There has been nothing but rain rain rain, followed by a succession of terrible winter storms until yesterday when at long last the sun shone all day in a cloudless sky. We headed off to the boat to check her through and get some things ready as all being well, and weather permitting, we will spend next weekend on her putting things back where they should be after all the work that has been done on her. She has had new water tanks, new holding tank pipes and lots of other things as well so Paul says that now all the major work has been done (touch wood) so he can stop worrying about her now. (well hopefully he can as he is rather a worry wort at times – his Virgo Ascedant!) {smile}

When I was last in we had builders coming on the onday to sort out the new soakaway for the septic tank as the old one failed quite spectactularly with dirty water coming up in the garden. We now think that perhaps that is how Nelson got so sick. On the Monday morning it was really like Casey’s Court as I had to get the dogs walked before 8am ( it was only getting light at 7.30) and then there was a stream of builders, tanker to empty the cesspit, trucks delivery machinery, trucks delivering gravel, and Michael arriving all in the course of two hours! The men worked really hard as it involved digging a new trench from the cesspit down through the garden, under the fence and into the top paddock towards the quarry. They also had the pressures of backfilling the paddock so the sheep didn’t fall into the trench (4ft deep) and the garden because of the same for the dogs and they did it before it got dark at 4.30. We were so lucky as they had the only two rain free days for weeks. I was sending out big thanks to the Universe for that as on the Wednesday the storms hit and just kept coming so I don’t even want to imagine what it would have been like if the soakaway hadn’t been done with the amount of water that has been dropped on us. I feel for the people in the Somerset levels and also in the South and South West with the dreadful floods and damage. It has been like having a hurricane every other day for the past two weeks. I see that the folks over the Pond having been having it very bad as well though all the water has been falling as severe snow storms. It has been a strange winter for sure. The rest of that week was filled with electricians coming and redoing the outside lights and plumber with water leak in the house I must admit by the end of that week I was just exhausted. Last week I came down with laryngitis and lost my voice and today I think a cold is finally coming out. I have had teeth problems as well (which have been sorted out) and the stress of it brought my asthma back big time which has resulted in my energy levels going to rock bottom and just ending up so tired I couldn’t do anything other than what had to be done, the litany seems to have gone on and on. Yet as the adage says “all things do pass” and so hopefully we have now come through the worst of it. We are expecting yet more rain though it looks as though the storms have finally headed northwards as the jet stream has moved up away from the UK.

Mind you last week we had a couple of nice things as my friend Angie (who lost her husband) came over and we celebrated her birthday (the first since Dave left us). Although it was poignant at times we enjoyed the time together and even managed to go into Ipswich for a bit of girls own shopping for her {smile}

Nelson seems to have recovered from his stomach problems now (fingers crossed) after nearly a month of it. He is still on an invalid diet though I have introduced a bit of kibble into the soft food he is still on with no nasty side effects thank goodness. Chakhotay is still ok as well for which I am very grateful as every day is a bonus and Shula is fine so I am hoping I am not tempting providence by writing that! {chuckle}

I will catch up with the posts in a separate post but I wanted to pop something in first thing this morning before my day takes over. Hopefully I can make a start on that once I have popped this post in. (thank heavens for word documents! {Smile})

I hope that all are well as I know we are all going through our own challenges in different forms at the moment. I have been sending out {{energies}} as I have read posts even though I haven’t written here and wanted you to know that you have {{all}} been in my thoughts and prayers.

{{Diana}} I hope that Ed is feeling better and that you and he will be having better days soon.

{{elfina}} I hope that Pat is on the mend and healing after his surgery.

{{robynne}} how lovely to see a post from you although you have been going through major challenges and life changes of your own.

{{hathor}} if you look in dear friend know that you are in my thoughts.

{{{Kermit}}} hope all is well with you and B2.

I will respond to all the posts in more detail later as I am nearly out of time now so til then am leaving a {{{warm group hug}}} to {{all}} who enter and sending out {{healing energies}} to those who need them.

With love always

PS excuse the typos etc {smile}

Hello again dear friend {smile}

Can’t believe that it is Thursday already! {smile} It has been a steady week for being busy which is fine as it is not quite so frenetic as the previous ones. I have to go and pick up some dog food today and am going to get my hair done as well in readiness for the weekend so that will be nice. We are going to spend the weekend on the boat although with the weather forecast I don’t think that we will be going anywhere as the forecast is saying high winds! Still it will be lovely to be on the water and the children and grandchildren will be coming to visit on the Sunday as am having a little lunch celebration on board.

The plumber is coming back today to fix the shower in the guest bathroom so I want to get this post done and dogs walked and fed before he arrives!

Now making a start on going through the posts at long last! {smile}

{{efina}}} hope that Pat is coming on well with his recovery. The trouble with knee surgery is that it does take a long time but it will be worth it in the end for him. He has to be a patient patient though and sometimes it is not easy for the menfolk is it? {Smile} I am sending you another dollop of {{energies}}} as sometimes it is harder on the carers than the actual patient so as to speak and also sending him some more {{healaing energies}}} as I write with the hope that all was well after the blood tests and if he needed anti biotics that they are now working ok. Sending love and {{{warm hugs}} across the Pond to you sweetie.

{{Diana}}} how are things going with {{ed}] dear friend? It is so hard isn’t it when our loved ones are not well and seems that we are all going through it to a certain degree. Hope your friend Dave is doing alright and have been sending {{{healing energies}}} for him and {{{Ed}}} {{{hugs}}}

{{{robynne}}} awww you really have gone through it these past few years haven’t you? {{hugs}}} So much seems to have happened and now it really is such a new start for you. It is very true and so important that we take care of ourselves although being Pisces sometimes that is easier said than done especially to do without feeling guilty. Yet is we don’t take care of ourselves and sometimes also put ourselves first then we can’t be there for anyone else. It is a case of being selfish and I learned many years ago that it is ok to be selfish from time to time. I redefined the word as it used to mean to me “looking after oneself at the expense of others” but you just have to take out “at the expense of others” and take care of oneself! {smile} If you can’t take care of yourself then how can you help others? A case of practising what one preaches and a lesson that I have had to learn also. {Smile}

That is lovely that Jase is moving in with you as well and that you are now settled in new home. It is such a beautiful part of the world where you live and I thought with the address too that you must have water views – most important for us Pisces folk {smile}. Thank you for the contact details which I have written in my address book and hopefully if/when we next visit Down Under we will have an opportunity to fly down to see you as well and am sending out that request to the Universe to help make it so. {Smile}

Isn’t that lovely re the second baby for Rhianne! {big smile} Please give her my warm congratulations and best wishes. Aww re the Pisces Asc and Moon bless her! {{Leeah Rachels hugs}}}}

{{Kermit}}} I would love to hop the Pond dear friend and hopefully the Universe will help make it so for me to do some more travelling though I fear the boat might not be up to a transatlantic crossing! She is only a 50 footer not an ocean liner! {chuckle} Hope all is well with you dear friend {{{hugs}}}

Well looking at the time I am going to have to cut this a bit short as I need to make a start on my day but at least I have got a post done this morning {smile} I do hope that all are well and am leaving a {{{big warm group hug}} to {{all}} who may enter and am sending out {{healing energies}} to those who need them as I write. {Smile}

Til next time… much love always

Saying hello, and to let you know Mermaid I have been thinking of you most intensely these days. Tough times with Keith collapsing, and me back to the the Breast Clinic (try doing that with Merc Rx!). I'll catch up with news when I can. At least we got through Keith's CT scan today. To me he is still as daft as he was 40 years ago. (Next time I have promised not to resuscitate him. LOL)

Diana, I am so sorry about Serena. But you know, I don't think cats bother whether they have a physical body or not. They still jump on the bed at night and sit on you. Yet I do do know the anguish and the loss, and however many you have and love, the loss does not get easier. Let us all celebrate the lives of cats, which I believe to be God's greatest creation. There is nothing more purrfect than a cat. Do you know Diana, the cats that were closest to me and my heart, I mourned the least. It just seemed like a cycle completed. And they have never left me. So please accept a comforting ((HUG))from another incurable cat lover. But so sorry at your loss. It does hurt.

Some may have noticed I have just abandoned AC. Can't be bothered if no one else does, and I am not there to entertain them. Most know where to find me if they wish, and apart from the usual suspects and rogues that I love so dearly, no one has bothered.

Better get some sleep before 5 hours of hospital and hard benches tomorrow.
Cheers to you all
