Sorry this is so impersonal, but time and energy going elsewhere, makes this the easiest way for me to communicate with many of you, for right now.

So...just want you to know, I am here and I am reading PM's and emails, it just may take me some time to get back to you, so please don't worry or become offended.

This is a super busy time for us, plus I've been told to slow down and be "gentle nice" to myself! I think they are diametrically opposed, but I try.**BG**

Anyhow, please know I will answer you as soon as I can. I expect this will be the case for the next month or so.

Thanks for understanding!

The Kat who laughs last, laughs best. I mailed you a cassette yesterday. No need to respond.. maybe you can take a break and listen to it. That's all that's required.

Take care of yourself.

My Dear Sister,

I agree with Jerry - take massive doses of music, ignore the phone, ignore Mudcat, rest (someone VERY close to me gave me this advice), and things will work out just fine.

Don't you just love an eternal optimist??

So take the above and know we're thinking of you -

Love ya

Steve

Listen to Jerry's cassette. If you need cheering up, it'll do the trick. If you don't need cheering up, he'll keep you that way.

Here's an Inuit song I found in a book, and I posted it recently in another thread. I think it would count as a slow down and be "gentle nice" song:

And I thought over again
My small adventures
As with a shore-wind I drifted out
In my kayak
And I thought I was in danger

My fears,
Those small ones
That I thought so big
For all the vital things
I had to get and to reach

And yet, there is only
One great thing,
The only thing:
To live to see in huts and on journeys
The great light that dawns
And the light that fills the world.

Thank you all, very much. I think I may have been too cryptic, trying not to say too much until things are done *cooking.* Anyway, it's just that there IS a move to Colorado coming up, very soon and I have been trying to do my usual take charge.

Well, I've been getting it from all sides that I just cannot do that, this time, that I have to be "gentle-nice" and watch as the world goes by. It's not that I have had any health crisis, rather trying to avoid bringing one on!*bg*

So, in taking it EZ, I've been trying to limit time on the computer and thus the apology for maybe not getting back to PMs and emails, as quickly as I'd like.

I love you all and value your kindness and understanding. Please know that as soon as I can, I will let you all know more details so we can celebrate.*bg*

Sometimes it is best just to stand back and let it happen.
This little children's poem may not be apropos of much but it came to mind. Hope you like it.

When I was sick and lay a-bed,
I had two pillows at my head,
And all my toys beside me lay
To keep me happy all the day.

And sometimes for an hour or so
I watched my leaden soldiers go,
With different uniforms and drills,
Among the bed-clothes, through the hills;

And sometimes sent my ships in fleets
All up and down among the sheets;
Or brought my trees and houses out,
And planned cities all about.

I was the giant great and still
That sits upon the pillow-hill
And sees before him, dale and plain,
The pleasant land of counterpane.

Robert Louis Stevenson

Thanks for asking, Guest and the b-day greeting. I have turned a corner, a good one, but until the actual move, etc. I am still going to be taking it slow and easy. As I'd said, it will probably be so for the next month or so.

Thanks to everyone for your understanding and patience.

Given your winter-time blues and SAD disorder -

And as long as you've lost the job -

Perhaps you should join us in Florida - there is much more light in the winters and no one gets SAD.

Well, I may have jumped the gun in anticipation, but moving day is finally upon us and I will not be able to answer PM's etc. for the next couple of weeks. Just wanted to let those who care know. We will go off-line on Friday, at least that's the plan, then be back up and running the following week. I'll be checking in once in awhile before Friday, but can't make any promises!*bg*

Thanks,

kat

Thanks, ya'll, I appreciate it.

Lyrical Lady, this might help to explain things: Tks for the Hoebuyer's Lamaze Coaching. I was being cryptic when I first posted this thread, because the ink wasn't dry on our house deal Now, I can say it "official"...we are moving lock, stock, barrel and all six cats and one dog from Wyoming to Colorado...about an 8-9 hour trip! Should be fun!**BG**

Thanks, again,
