I know this is so hard for you. As writers, we live in our heads and often ignore our bodies so it's our loved ones who have to speak reality for us to take care of our physical needs. Thank you for this update, Sandra! Continuing to pray for you!! ð???ð???ð???ð???ð???

You're right, Helen, this is really hard not being able to sit and write. I'll do as I'm told, and what I know is right, and get better. But I hate it. Thank you, dear friend, for the prayers, it means a lot to know you care that much. Love you lots, my friend. Sandra xx

Thank you, Helen. You're right, this is hard, and I hate the way I'm feeling. I'll get there, but it means not trying to force it. Thanks, dear friend, for the prayers. Love and hugs, Sandra xx

Sending our thoughts your way. It is a good thing that you rest and sit back for a while. You will know when to resume again. We are not young and its takes longer to recuperate. Hugs.

I know, and I have succumbed to Graham and my sons' wishes and will take it easy for a while. This time I know I have to. No more saying I'll have a break and then not having one. I'm burned out, quite honestly. BUT I WILL be back! Rest assured!! 🥰😊Thank you, my dear friend, for the love and support you always give me. Sending my love back to you. 🥰🥰Sandra xxx

I will and I know the rest of FanStory will continue to pray for you and you will be greatly missed. Please don't worry about your story. It will be there after you get yourself better and we will all be ready to read.

You just get well and don't worry about anything else. That is top priority. We can wait for the next chapter. I know how it is to lose any inkling of inspiration. My well is dry too. God Bless you sweet friend. Love Nancy:)

Bless your heart, my dear Nancy. Thank you for caring and being so sweet. I will rest and will be back once I'm strong enough and can write again. Love you lots, dear friend. You are always in my thoughts. Sandra xxxx

A heartfelt poem full of emotion. We all are in denial when it comes to illness as we do not wish to think of ourselves as fallible. Best of luck for a speedy recovery. A great read.

Thank you, Jacqueline, I appreciate your kindness. Yes, I've always been in denial, but now I have to concede I do need to rest. Warm hugs, my friend. Sandra xx

Here's a six to boost your spirits. The good news for me is that I can now catch up with "This Time It's Different". Prayers are sent up for your quick recovery.

Aw, thank you, Bill, that certainly gave me a smile. Lol. I'll be back soon, and writing again. It's most unlike me to give in, but this time I really have to. Thank you for the booster six stars, that was so thoughtful of you. Love and hugs, my friend. Sandra xx
