Blogus Interruptus
Some of you may have noticed that my usual prolific blogging output has slowed of late, so it’s time to ‘fess up. I am in hospital and while, I thought it might be a short stay initially – it turns out I will be here for some time. I thought I could keep up the pace, but when Friday rolled around last week, and I couldn’t put my usual weekly round-up together, I knew I had to admit to a case of Blogus Interruptus.
It’s hard for me to give up my usual mode of doing, but I need to switch to a being mode in order to become fully well again. I won’t completely disappear – I have some draft posts, including the regular Mindful Monday, which will still appear – it is after all only an interruption in blogging, not a complete cessation 😉
Love to you all.

Aw, Marie, I’m sorry to hear that. I do hope that your stay will fix whatever needs fixing, and that you will be back to your usual prolific self before too long 🙂 Máire xx

Oh, Marie, I’m so so sorry, and if there is anything I can do from across the pond, I stand at the ready. Your blogs–and your wonderful, caring personality and responsiveness–will be missed on the blogosphere. Just do what it takes to heal, and I look forward to a healthy Marie being back in action very soon.
Best wishes for your health, Candida

Marie, I’m sorry this is serious enough to keep you in the hospital for a while. I just hope it’s not so serious that you won’t get to go home soon, good as new. Or almost good as new!! I’ve been stepping back myself, for less urgent reasons, but ultimately the same ones — to focus on my physical health. You are in my thoughts. Hugs, and we will all be here when you get home.
