There are times when Life throws one a curve or two, and this has been one of those times.For the last several weeks, I've been contending with serious health issues, and just to make existence a little more interesting, my computer expired without warning on the weekend. I was in no shape to try and work out the techie problems and was compelled to leave the darned box turned off while I developed a little strength and enough focus to address the issues.
As of a few minutes ago, the computer is working again, but it is anything but reliable. In the next few days, I shall have to reformat the hard drive and start over from scratch, restoring archived data from my library and reinstalling a thousand and one programs. I am mapping the whole process out now so that I can proceed in an orderly fashion.
It appears too that I shall require invasive surgery at some point in the next several weeks and life away from the computer these days is a swaying forest of medical appointments, forms and tests. So far, the surgery is scheduled for December 10th, the day before my birthday.
I have so missed all of you! It is good to be back in the realm of blog.

My dear Cate,
My mind is pushing all the positive energies I have towards you. If you need anything, anything at all, please call me. Let your soul mate know as well. If you are feeling down after the operation, call me and I will come right away. Let me know where please.
It's funny you called this one "Sometimes". The saying that comes to my mind is "Somestimes things happen, and sometimes you gotta let them happen. And, most of the time, things happen for a good reason."
My love goes out to you, call me.
Your Soul Sister...

I am so glad you are back blogging again. I was worried when you didn't post for a few days, and was relieved to hear that nothing catastrophic had happened. Good luck with your surgery and with getting your computer back on track. I will try to send positive energy your way!
Yikes - invasive surgery. I am sorry to hear that this is necessary and am sending healing energy your way. Take care of yourself and all the best to you...
Dear Cate, I too am so sorry to hear you are facing this, but I am hoping that all will be well, and sending you thoughts and prayers for strength and healing. Bless you.
Healing blessings and the light of hope dear Cate. On the day of your surgery, candles will be lit for you:
Words from Carlos Castaneda:
"When it all seems impossible, focus on the point in front of you. Follow it like a hawk and forget everything else."

Sorry this unwelcome business is ahead but hope it's the solution to your ills and that you'll be fine to again walk your woods after you heal.

Popping by for a visit on this chilly, sunny fall day and wishing you well, dear one.
I hold you in my heart with much tenderness. Sending love and prayers too.
Much love,

Your blog is one of my all time favorites, it brings the magic of the earth to the cyber universe. May your health be fully restored. Many hearts will be with you throughout your surgery and recovery.
Hate it when problems pile up like that, but glad to see your blog back on line.
I'm afraid all surgery is invasive, but hopefully it will resolve your problems in the long run. I know that mine have all turned out for the best, though they certainly didn't seem that way at first.
Best of luck.
I no longer have a computer myself and rarely get to check blogs any more so I'm just seeing this. Add mine to all the best wishes.

I'm so sorry to read about your health problems and the need for surgery - I hope that all goes well and that you will spend the winter in your beloved highlands helping all your wild friends to survive the rigours of the cold season. I shall send healing energy your way and you will be in my thoughts dear friend.
Cate,
Invasive surgery. . .take care of yourself - body and soul. Life is always throwing us curves and for a reason.
I'll miss you while you are away getting ready for the surgery, assuming days out of commission and the healing process.
