Hello to all of my dear friends! so long to have posted, I am sorry to say..... I apologize to have kept you in the dark as to what has been going on here in the lovely snow belt of Ohio. so much, it seems, but I won't blather on with lots of boring bits, just give you a few highlights...
I ended up being much more sick than we thought over the holidays, so have spent a great deal of time in bed trying to recuperate. as tired as all of you get listening to me talk about it, I am much more weary of having to tell you each time I fall ill. and I am so very very 
sad each time I have to tell another DT or store that I must leave due to my illnesses. I don't like letting people down or disappointing people. it hurts me to hurt others, and I know I do it. I can only hope that on some level they know that not one bit of this is intentional - I go into my commitments with every intention of upholding them to the fullest. having a body that falls apart with no warning whatsoever is not fun. but I can't change it. unfortunately.

I can only hope that on some level they know that not one bit of this is intentional - I go into my commitments with every intention of upholding them to the fullest. having a body that falls apart with no warning whatsoever is not fun. but I can't change it. unfortunately. so with that our middle son, Mick, decided to withdraw from Bowling Green University and stay home this semester, even after having a 3.0 average in the Pre-Vet program.. he will try to take some classes at a local Community College and then attend the Univ. of Akron with Tyler in the Fall. David spent this week at BG helping him move out. it was bittersweet, to say the least.
so I left PCP and SNR for a little while as I get my body healthy again. I do want to try to craft at least once a week when possible.
I have come to realize that I have so much to work on in being a person of kindness and integrity. I can not let illness become who I am. I can not let illness overtake my emotions.
Thank you for being my friends! You mean so much to me! :)

Sorry to hear you have been sick! I know how hard it can be when our health gets in the way. It takes some adjusting to learn what you can and can't do. Praying that you find a good balance for you.
So sorry to hear that you have been that sick again, Jennifer. I will be praying for your strength and recovery. Keep up the fight - a positive attitude is so important. I hope you will grow stronger each day!

Sorry to hear you have been sick. I'm dealing with hives...not pleasant. I know you have way more snow then we do and we have well over a foot! Stay warm and well!
Hang in there, dear Jennifer!! Thoughts and prayers are with you ~ as much as we miss your creations when you're not up to it, know that a day without a post is simply a day we're all sending positive and caring wishes your way. HUGS!!!!
Oh Jen...I've been wondering why you haven't been on the Planet. Now I understand. I'm so sorry you're sick. I've missed you but happy you're taking the time you need to heal.
Hoping that you feel much better soon. Sending hugs and prayers. I left an award for you on my blog.
Awww Jen - I am so sorry to hear that you've been battling illness! I do hope that you are now on the road to better days and that you will be able to find days to craft again!!
