Gentle reader,
Forgive me please, as I take some personal time. I owe many of you kind and kindred souls a visit. But I find myself daunted by the everyday tasks of breathing, of walking, of moving from one place to another. I hope that you find yourselves in happier places than mine.
My meds have been upped, until I meet my p-doc on Tuesday, where I will get new scripts.
I passed today by painting a mural in my friends' new nursery. A lovely way to spend the time. A neutral space, with myself just painting with almost no pressure. I'd cartooned the scene out with graphite, after talking with the parents.
When the father John came up, as I was roughing in the images, he said, "You don't waste any time." He, his wife and I had agreed on images an hour ago. I was worried that he hated it, but when he came back with Tonya, he made sure she came up to see it.
They were so ecstatic, that I wonder if I couldn't just do this for a living. I couldn't. They just happen to be nice and open minded. They like my ideas and trust me.
Tonya and I will finish the nursery over the next couple of days. Then, I'll have to face my own life. Or at least try to.
For all of you that have offered such kind sympathy and thoughts, I wish to offer my heartfelt thanks and good wishes. I will be back soon and will see you then.
In all gratitude and love, Dano.

Dano,
What a wonderful thing for you to do today. Spending time making a lovely place to welcome a new soul. I can't believe I fell for your schtick yesterday about cleaning your room. Now I cleaned my house for nothing.
You got me that time..Thinking of you so much and sending lots of silliness and hope your way....I love you.

Dano,
You have had one heck of a week. It is understandable for you to take time off. Take all the time off you need.
We will be still be reading when you come back.
In the meantime, hug those furbabies close.
Let your mind rest well and see you when you get back.
Paint your heart out ,Dano! What a wonderful gift you were given,with that talent. I hope you are feeling much better soon!
Know that you're in my thoughts and prayers!
No need for apologies. Take all the time you need. We'll wait.
Maybe you'll show us some pictures of your paintings when you return? I'd like that.
Hang in there, pup xx
No need for apologies. Take care of yourself, Dano.
We, your loyal readers will still be sitting entranced at our computer screens when you return....
Taking time for you is the best. I'm glad you're taking it. See you when you're back to blogging. *sending hugs*
So many words of kindness and caring.
I am embarrassed by the rich gifts that I have been given. As even my own family turns me away, an entire world beyond, have been kind enough to wrap their thoughts, minds and even arms around me.
My sweet and kindly friends, your considerations toward my failings was beyond the call. You have no idea how much your support has meant to me.
I'm learning to breathe without effort, move without pain and think, maybe even beyond those latter duties.
My love to you all.
Dano
Will miss you no doubt, but will be here when you wish to return.
Hope that the time away will serve you well. It is important to recognize when we need a break and actually give our body/mind the time needed to recuperate. Take care
Polar Bear~Again, so kind and sweet of you to take the time to comment. I am coming back, I think.
Untreatable~ So right on! If I'm wounded within, I need time to heal, as do we all.
Rusty~Thanks.
