An Interruption

by

I’m not gonna lie. This is a horrible post to write. I’ve been a little MIA recently, and I’m afraid it will be that way for a little while. To cut to the chase, I’ve had some medical problems come up, and I need a moment to get healthy. A surgery is scheduled for Thursday, and a six-week recovery will follow. And no–I will not be laying in a field of flowers that whole time.

Field of flowers

I’m pretty private about my personal life, so I’m already revealing more than I’m comfortable with. However, you deserve an explanation. Please know that my absence isn’t wanted, but most certainly needed. If you believe in prayer, I’d love some! If you don’t, how ’bout some positive thoughts?

Positive thoughts

 I’ll be checking in sporadically, but this blog o’ mine is gonna have to take a back seat for a moment. And believe me–that’s a tough call to make when you love it as much as I do. The good news? This guy has threatened to blog for me if I don’t feel up to it. I may have to feign illness just for that. He’s a funny one!

Us out

 I will miss you, and I hope you’ll stay with me! See you soon!

Well, hello. Ahem. Allow myself to introduce..my..self. My name is Chris! And I’m a blogger! I got into blogging after spending months reading all the inspiration that is found in blogland. I thought to myself, “Self, I can do this. I might have something to offer too!” And so it began...

    By the way, that’s a great photo of the two of you. You two look great together and happy (hubby looks extra handsome and rugged). That would be a great picture on your photo wall.

  73. Psalm 103:2-4 Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits– who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion.

    Jeremiah 17:14 Heal me, O LORD, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise.

  81. So sorry to read this news. May your surgery go smoothly tomorrow and your recovery go by quickly for you. Please have your hubby let us know how you are doing!! Thoughts and prayers coming to you from the other side of “the mitten”

  90. Hi dear. Hope your surgery went well. Wishing you a speedy recovery and lots of love. Jesus our healer will heal you completely. Take all the time you need to rest. We’ll be waiting for you

  91. So sorry to hear you’re not feeling well, bit lots of prayers going your way. Better to take care of yourself and have a faster recovery. Take care-I’ll be waiting for sure. Been following since really close to the beginning so I’m not planning on going anywhere! Take care Chris!

  92. I don’t normally post on blogs, but I have been following yours for quite awhile and have noticed your absence. I want you to know that I really enjoy your blog. I will say a prayer for you and look forward to your return to blogging. Wishing you all the very best with your surgery and recovery.

  97. I just want to say that I am very sorry to hear about your health situation. I will pray for you.

    Have you read Angelspeake? It is about communicating with your angels by writing. You could just type away to your angels and to the angels of healing. And tell them your fears and what you want. It is an excellent site, Angelspeake. With an archive of the words of the angels and newsletters.

    Get well soon.

    with love,
    Michael

  99. Get well soon! Rest and take the time you need to heal. We’ll be here waiting when you get back…but not until you are fully ready!

  103. You will get through it with flying colors!! Make sure you DO rest and be aware of all the changes your body and mind go through because of your surgery! I’m going out on a limb and guessing you might be having the big “H”. If so, take the pain meds, rest, rest, rest and more rest! Regardless of what it is, know there are tons of prayers being said for you and the good Lord is always right there with you! Heal quickly, quietly and completely.
    Hugs,
    Jackie

  104. I check in from time to time on my fellow Michigander. 🙂 So glad I did. I will pray for you and you will be in my thoughts. Just one post by your hubby could be entertaining?? take care and god Bless you and your family. (I grew up in Petoskey, went to MSU, dad lives in Cascade….that is how I am your fellow snow buddy. 😉 )

    • I was writing too fast and didn’t check my writing close enough –Capital G—“God”–sorry!That is a big boo boo. 🙁 Yeah, capital T at the beginning of the sentence. However, that pales in comparison….

  106. Sorry to hear you are out of action for a while Chris ..
    I pray for a speedy recovery
    Best wishes xx

  108. I’ve been a longtime lurker and massive admirer of your site and ideas.
    Take care of yourself and get well soon.
    My thoughts and prayers will be with you.

  109. Hi Chris, I’ve been thinking about you and hoping your recovery is coming along. Best wishes to you and your family.

  110. Oh no! I can’t imagine leaving my blog. I know you’ll miss it, and we will definitely miss you. Of course I will stay, silly. I am praying for a quick recovery and I hope all is well after this.

    Rest up! And you can feel free to put that funny guy up to the challenge. I’m sure you’ll enjoy reading his posts and our responses to them when you can. 😉

  112. Thoughts and prayers are with you-before, during and after. I made it to 51 without any surgeries-then had 2 in 2 years! While I understand you’re wanting to keep things private I do hope that you will reach out to those closest to you and draw from their experience, strength an hope. I found it comforting to know what helped others who had gone through similar experiences/surgeries-and it helped ease a lot of fears–and made recovery smoother, too. Be gentle with yourself-and allow plenty of time to heal. Blessings, Sharon

  114. Just happened upon your site while researching painting furniture. Great site and I’ll look forward to your speedy recovery, so you can continue sharing your inspiration with us!!! Be well.

  115. Get well soon, Chris. We’ll still be here when you are all good and well to once again inspire us with your amazing insights. Get better soon.
