Well, hi

Hi there. I hope Christmas and New Year's gave you a break and helped focus your mind on the things that truly matter. There is nothing any more important than to know who we are and what we are about. Once those things have been decided, everything else seems to fall into place.

I used this particular holiday season to take some time off. In the seven years I have been writing for the Examiner, I have not had a break. It seemed that this year, however, was perfect for such a break since I have been sidelined part of that time with various ailments anyway. So, I seized the opportunity to avail myself of such a break, and it has been amazingly refreshing.

Eye surgery has been put off indefinitely. My doctors don't want to make a bad situation worse. Plus, as long as I can see out of the bad eye, I can function. If he (the doctor) changes his mind and wants to do the surgery pronto at some point, I will let you know.

You know what to do. Pray and trust God for good outcomes.
