ParticipantHello, everyone. Long time no see, eh? I feel the need to take a moment and post a few words. Apparently, a few people have been asking around about me after my name was mentioned at Sunday’s event for “The System.”
Several people have contacted me wanting to know more about recent events in my life. It is true, I have had a recent medical… incident. Simply put, I wound up in a hospital for a few days with lots of needles being pushed into me, things being shoved down my throat, a variety of fluids being pumped into me… it was extremely unpleasant and genuinely frightening. However, the situation is manageable and I am back out, back to work and on the mend. (And, grateful to be here!)
I want to take this chance to thank the members of this community who have reached out to inquire how I am and wish me well, your concern is touching and it is greatly appreciated.
You will never know the power of someone saying, “Thinking of you,” until you are alone and frightened. Things will turn out fine and knowing that people are concerned has lifted my spirits and my energy. A sincere thank you to all of you.
A very special thank you to my friend @mike who stood beside me, literally, during part of this process.
Wish I could have been there to see everyone in person on Sunday, but some of you may recall I don’t seem to really fit Noah’s “needs” when it comes to being clay. If I have a place in this universe, I am not sure what it is, yet.
Again, thank you for the expressions of support and concern. It all really helped when I was down.
