Well not a lot to report, things have been tough at home I will admit. I have had one small stint in hospital (a complication with one of the tumors) but as of yet still no surgery. I'm very tired and lethargic and not getting about that much, it's such a shame with the kids on school holidays. Before the hospital stay I was in a lot of pain, that has settled a little now but on the increase again so I need to go for more tests yet again soon. I was quite the Christmas hum-bug...I just didn't feel the mood very much, I still put in a lot of effort for the kids but it just doesn't feel right when you are feeling so unwell and so unsure about your future...glad it's over with, we are and have been contending with all the recent rain now. Our home is safe (we hope) from flooding but still have massive drainage issues and deluges of water running down the hill and through the carport, the yard has been a mud pit for weeks and it's getting smelly but there are so many contending with so much worse, we are blessed. Just getting through the day and trying to keep house is exhausting me when it comes to uploading for 365, I have contemplated many many times about just deleting it and forgetting about it but I know deep in my heart I don't want that.
Our thoughts and prayers are still with you. I am glad to here you got to see the kids for the holidays, even if it was a lot of effort. I am sure they are glad for the time with you. Hope you can stay dry and healthy.
@sj You've been in my thoughts and my prayers, Sarah Jane. I'm so happy to hear an update from you! I can only imagine how challenging things have been lately, but it warms my heart to hear that you were able to spend the holidays with your children. Hang in there, and remember that we all wish you well.
Thank you so very much for your update. our thoughts and prayers have never left you. was so happy this morning to see you posting a lot of pictures. also very happy that I didn't miss them as on Friday we'll be on our yearly trip to Mexico.
all that rain makes a lot of damage..at least your home is safe but a lot of mud will get stepped in and I don't think all that work is good for you at this time. wish we lived closer together to lend a helping hand or two.. I'm having my laptop with us on vacation so at least I can look at my home page and hopefully upload some pictures if not every day
Please Sarah Jane, dont give up on this site. Dont give up on anything! You are a strong beautiful woman and we all look forward to your updates. You are constantly in our thoughts and prayers and we wish you all the very best for 2011...To you and your family, stay safe during the horrendous weather your experiencing and stay strong xXx
My thoughts are with you, Sarah! Please don't leave... I know it's hard for you to get out, so maybe you want to just post now and then. But I really enjoy your photography and your kind words. Of course, I understand that this can also be an added stress for you, so do what's best for you. (((hugs)))
Glad to hear from you! So sorry it has been difficult through the holidays. I'm sure your kids understand at a deeper level and had the best of times just being with you. You've been an inspiration both in your art and personal struggle. You are in the thoughts and prayers of many here on 365. All the best.
SJ!!!!!! I am so glad to hear something from you. I am so sorry you are in pain. :( I hope the next round of tests will give you some news. Sending you my prayers and {{hugs}}.
So glad to hear from you SJ! Thank you for the update! A true blessing you are, to all of us! I hope and pray that you don't leave 365, as you have become part of our lives, through your photos, your stories, and your adventures. I totally understand though, that there are other more important things, that take the front burner, so like Melissa Pike said, maybe just post a photo a week? That still gives you an artistic "out" from life, if you will......Hugs to you. Always in my thoughts and prayers :-)
I am SOOOOO glad to hear from you. I have been thinking a lot of you. I am so sorry for all your troubles, but hopefully it will turn the right way soon. Big kisses and hugs from me to you :-) Keep up your positive energi!!!!
Dear Sarah So glad to hear from you. As you know we have all been sending you our thoughts and prayers. Not a day goes by you don't enter my thoughts. Stay strong and see those beautiful things in the world that you have shown us in the past. xx from the UK
Hoping for the best for you in the New Year, Sarah Jane. I know how important it is for you to use your focus and energy on your health...so it's understandable if you choose not to do a daily 365 post. Hopefully you will feel up to an occasional post/check-in so that those who care about you can continue to give you the encouragement and support that can be so helpful...as well as give yourself the opportunity to take your mind off of your daily struggles. Thoughts and prayers are with you ~
I tip my hat to you Sarah....Stay strong and know that God works ALL Things out for our good! He is Faithful to his word and he is the Master Physician!
I will pray for you to have continual strength and when you don't think you can be strong I pray he shows up like never before for you!
And for his Peace to abound in your home! You will come through this and be used for a Mightiness for his Kingdom!
Thanks for dropping back in for a wee chat ... we do think of you often. Glad that you're okay with the flood waters .... praying for your health. God bless.
