A short explanation for my absence from Patterico’s [Guest Post by Dana]

Filed under: General — Patterico @ 9:17 pm



[Guest post by Dana]

This is just an update for those who have asked where I’ve disappeared to. I’m currently facing some physical limitations that make posting a no-go at this time. I am hopeful that I will be able to return to posting sooner rather than later. (Of course with the high-quality, insightful posts from our host, me talking about posting is rather silly.) For now, though, I am focusing my energies on getting better. It is a non-life threatening matter, and pales in comparison to what some commenters are enduring. But it is what’s on my plate now, and something that must be addressed. Recently a friend sent me a beautiful handcrafted card with a reminder that I am living by these days: “When my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” Psalm 61:2

So, onward and upward I go.

  7. “You can stand anything for 10 seconds,” says Kimmy Schmidt. “Then you just start on a new 10 seconds.”

  16. Whatever it is, heal quickly and completely !

    The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;

    2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

    3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.

    4 Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.

    5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions.

    6 Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

    7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.

    8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.

    9 Save, Lord: let the king hear us when we call.

  19. Dana, I have appreciated your voice on this site since, I believe, around 2004 (can it be?). I am glad you are taking the time you need to focus on the healing you need. May you have ready access to good care, and may you be surrounded by good and true people to lean on. Blessings upon your recovery.
