A Looking Ahead Weekly Link Round-Up




I still need to take it easy with this leg. It's back to where it was before it started going haywire on Christmas Day, but I don't want to take any chances. I'm seeing folks at the wound clinic and keeping compression on it. This may be something that doesn't ever go away again, but I am determined to hold it at bay and not let it run my life.


Since I'm taking it easy, that means that I do not spend extended periods of time sitting here at the desk. It makes blogging interesting, but I'm not worried about it. What I'm focusing on is getting out and about to places other than medical ones!

I've got some good reading waiting for me, and the sun is shining across my bed. Rough life, eh?

But I do want to take this opportunity to wish each and every one of you all the best in the coming year. Above all-- Good Health, Good Friends, Good Times, and Good Books.



Here's to 2020. May it be filled with wonderful things for us all!

  1. You're very wise, Cathy, to take extra care of yourself. And if that means some changes in the way you do things (at least for now), then it does. Thanks, as ever, for the links. Did someone say 'Roman sarcophagus?'

  3. I do hope you feel better soon, Cathy. Good for you to remain positive despite the setback. We could all take a lesson, I'm sure. Happy New Year to you as well - I've been away from the blog for a bit, but vow in the new year to visit more often! Keep smiling (and reading, too - but do I really need to encourage you to do that?)!!

  5. I'm delighted to hear that your leg is improving and if taking care of things in the future means a few changes here, so be it. We all understand. So, reorganizing your craft room? I say make yourself happy and do it.
