A Brief Note to My Readers

Shirley A Mandel
Dear readers, This is a note to apologize for being so slow to return comments and to even post new things of my own. I'm working on a big writting project and I have to work around my many bad days by making the most of my good days. As a person who suffers from two serious medical conditions, one mental and the other physical, I'm doing the best I can. I don't want to sound selfish, but I will not negect anyone of you because my policy is to respond to each and everyone who is kind enough to leave a comment; I'm just a little slower than usual (if that's possible!). Please bear with me.

    No worries, friend. I echo the thoughts of others.

    Shirley, so glad to hear you're involved in a good writing project. I haven't been around much either, but once in a while I catch up on favorites. Blessings!

    I'm behind on my reading also after a few days off the air.

    Shirley life can be hard sometimes. Do whatever you need to do to get through the difficulties you face. We have all been there. Take care.

    No need for apologies. I think we all are going through one trial or some trials of one type or another.

    Thanks for the note. As has been said, no apologies are really necessary. Those of us who follow you will notice when you return!

    HI Shirley, do not trouble yourself over this. I'm only getting around to comment on each of my AC friends maybe 1 time every week or 2 weeks. We all have challenges and responsibilities, and altho' I love everyone here, it's hard to justify using my writing time, that could be spent on writing paying articles, to be busy leaving comments when my husband is out at his 50-hour a week job so I can stay home and write! It's a catch 22.

    TL said it well, no worries my friend, page views are not a matter these days with me here on AC, it is just slow for most of us, I write because: ... it is a need of my soul and I read your post because they bring me joy Shirley Ann...:0)
