A month of serious illness tossed a major monkey wrench into my life. So to try to get some things working again, I will probably not be posting near as much online.

This week will be getting myself together and hopefully a bit more organized.

Later there is the matter of can I get the shop back in business after it has been closed for more than month, word spreading of it suddenly closing unexpectedly during the local rock and gem show?

Both are unknown, as also what of future health issues.

I suspect that I am close to the end of my life.
In rehab, I went through a three-day depression and fear period. Quite debilitating.

Then a thought crossed my mind. " Savor what you can still enjoy in life."

So what was available at night in Rehab? I went to the TV room, bought a 20 ounce sugar-free Coke, sipped it slowly. I watched part of a movie, not worrying if I could hear and understand it with my poor hearing, or even follow the plot. Just watching to enjoy watching it because I could.

It worked, it broke that depression and fear downer.

I got my emotional balance back.
