Laughter is the BEST Medicine
If grrlfriends could make you well, I'd be the healthiest person on the planet. The calls and emails have lifted me up and made me feel very special and loved. I am doing much, much better and miss you all.
Monday was a very special mail day, mostly because it was full of smiles and laughter.
A post card from Hawaii! Luck TeresaC spent Christmas there and this is a repro of a map she purchased to hang in her home. Love it!
Stacey sent a card and fiber (along with more luxurious fibers) that made Smith laugh out loud and Jan sent a link that made me laugh out loud. (You really should click).
Cara picked up a beautiful square spindle at Rhinebeck and as luck would have it it also arrived on Monday. I can't wait to give it a spin!
The new Piecework arrived chocked full of knitting ideas, projects and enticements. I'm planning future projects and I'm knitting daily, too.
A bunch of special grrlfriends, Norma,
Sandy,
Vicki,
TeresaC, and Anne sent chicken soup for the soul and it was the best ever.
I can't thank you all enough for your love and support. I'll be back Monday, renewed, feeling like myself and, hopefully, to show off the long ago last projects of 2007.
Been sending good energy out into the universe for you grrl! Don't worry about us, you just get betta.

Hey, rest up and get well soon. (I missed a few day's posts, and had no idea you were so ill.) Grab a little moxie and curl up and rest.

How fun, what a great bunch of packages that landed on your door. I hope that you're on the mend and back to your own self asap.

Margene,
I am so pleased you are feeling better...and up to a bit of knitting..I was truly worried:)
I have heard many cases of pneumonia in this area..both my nephew and his daughter had a bout a few weeks ago.
Please continue to rest and mend..so you can make me 'drool' over your newest projects..hugs
Posted by: Dianne | January 10, 2008 at 03:04 PM
Glad to hear you're on the mend, Margene!
Posted by: Jan | January 10, 2008 at 03:06 PM

Posted by: marie in florida | January 10, 2008 at 03:25 PM
so glad you are on the mend....keep going and take it easy...so it doesn't come back again!
Posted by: Kathleen | January 10, 2008 at 04:16 PM
Stacey's card is perfect! And laughter is definitely the best medicine.

Glad to see you are feeling up to posting! Just take it easy, one day at a time, with fiber getting your highest priority and you will be in glowing health again in no time.

I'm glad it brought a laugh. Once it grows back, tell him if he ever shaves it again, you're needle felting that little bit onto his lip. :D
Posted by: Stacey | January 10, 2008 at 08:25 PM
I sent a little pressie with Smith--glad to hear your "voice."

I'm so glad you posted, I was really starting to worry about you! Get some sleep and GET BETTER! :o)
Posted by: elizabeth | January 11, 2008 at 10:00 AM
Atta girl! :-) I bet breakfast at Silver Fork this weekend would help get you back on your feet again, too. :-)
Posted by: Beth S. | January 11, 2008 at 02:46 PM
sending you many good thoughts.
rest well over the weekend.
no need to answer - just know you are cared about by many!
Posted by: Teyani | January 11, 2008 at 06:29 PM
Well Thank Heaven! Now I can enjoy my weekend without worrying about my Knitting Friend quite so much. I won't quit worrying entirely, ya know. :) XOXOXOXOX
Posted by: Laura | January 11, 2008 at 11:20 PM
Goodness! I am behind in my blog reading and didn't realize that you were sick! I do hope that you feel better soon. Pneumonia is no fun but antibiotics are a God send in such cases. Just rest until you are better- that will help the medicine do its job!!! Sending you good warm thoughts from India!
Posted by: Cindy | January 12, 2008 at 05:05 AM
Just sending you healing thoughts and big thanks for your blog. I read it faithfully and someday maybe I'll get to meet you.
Posted by: Lori | January 13, 2008 at 11:50 AM
Are you feeling better yet? And your sky shot is so pretty!
