I’ve been kind of doing the same thing - putting my life on hold because of my health problems - partially because whenever I do anything that I enjoy, it seems to make my health problems worse (i.e. going out with friends and laughing and talking = jaw seizing up and migraines for four days straight.) But this post reminds me that I have to start finding passion in my life, even in baby steps, or I’m not going to get healthy.

Here’s hoping we can both make it happen. Health and happiness - we deserve both.

This is great news, Dana. It makes sense. I’ll be seeing you out there. Looking forward to reading your poems, and anything else you write.

I am just happy for you; and by happy happenstance, for me too because I get to read your wonderful writing again … :)

…deb, at least I am getting something for my money, right? I don’t want to get a bunch of therapy and have nothing to show for it.

Catherine, hi. The thought of trying to write again ~ anything, not just poetry ~ has me feeling a little nauseated. And warm. Nauseated and warm is an interesting combination.

I love your therapist.

And I love that the editor approached you. (Holy crap, that is sweet on 18-levels.)

Welcome back! Unless you find some other way to reconnect with your writing, that is. In which case, I hope it brings you joy anyway, even though we won’t have the pleasure of reading it.
