My Goodness, it sure has been a long time.  I got ill beginning January 2018. It has taken a long time to recover to the extent that I feel I might live a few years longer.  Of course there are no guarantees but given the choice of letting myself and my thoughts die to the world; and going on to share my thoughts and feelings for whatever time is left, I choose to move forward.  I have from time to time posted my thoughts on Facebook, in short little pieces but that is not really what I am about.  I never expected to live to see 2020.  Now only the creator knows how must time I still have left.  As my most favorite home philosopher said this morning " Everyone, and everything,  is given a certain number of moments in time to exist, within Eternity.   No one knows how long that will be or can change the result."  All one can really do is be unafraid in each moment and face each challange as it comes and hope one can live up to their own expectations.  Fear is our only true liability.
So I go forward with this blog for however long the urge moves me. With the hope my thoughts and experiences can prove useful, entertaining, moving, inspiring, or even worthy of mirth from my followers.  
I will send the occasional reminder on FB or through e-mail that I have again posted in the blog as I may not everyday.  I have many plans for the coming year but still I do not have the strength I would like to accomplish all of them.  Now that I can read books again(in large print or on Kindle I intend to read at least a few books a week.  I have rediscovered the wonders of Amazon Prime video and Netflix and I have to contain myself when I begin to binge watch a series,   I have purchased an armchair workout video (standing and holding onto chair) that I need to use at least 3 times a week.  In addition it is necessary that I eat meals and entertain my husband and my little dog.  Or be entertained by them, whichever comes first.  Then I do have my friends, Doctor appointments, the necessity of keeping up with Facebook and politics and a hundred other small time eaters in each day.  Even drinking the required amount of water and taking medicines eats into my available time.
Oh Lordy, I don't think I can handle all this.  We will just have to see what happens.  I know a shut-ins life cannot even to begin to compare to those of you still in the workplace or living your retirement dreams.  How we humans begin to accomplish all that we do in our few allotted moments is of continuing amazement, or is that amusement, for the Gods.
Well I shall end this for today  but I hope I have given some of you something to look forward to.
