Hello one and all…first I want to thank all my followers basically for still following me…:).
For the ones I follow I have loved reading your blogposts as well. You might have noticed that I’m sure when I comment on a blogpost that peaks my interests. I’m usually one of the first ones to chime in on something you might have said if it catches my eye.
I have had a pretty sluggish month for posting to my blog. My writing in general for my short stories for this month has been sub-par you might say. I will be wrapping up two short stories to display on here soon that I hope to send off to some publishers as well. I wanted to also write a few personal anectdoal stories on here as well when time permits along with some Blogger award stuff I’ve been meaning to get to.
The main reason for my lack of posting is that my wife had to have a pretty major surgery which will have a long recovery time of about 6-8 weeks before she’s back to her normal self. ( When she gets back to full health she’ll be hitting me in no time….she likes to abuse me…:)
Anyways, I just thought I should let you know that. I don’t feel I owe an explanation to the souls in cyberspace I just felt like telling you for no particular reason other than that your all a small part of my life.
I also wanted to express that I do have to thank my wife though for opening my eyes.
Often I stressed out when I felt I wasn’t being productive enough in my writing. I felt less than if I didn’t meet the personal challenges I set forth for myself in my writing.
As I sat by my wife’s hospital bed after her long 6hr ordeal of a surgery I realized that I felt at peace. At peace because this is where I needed to be, where I wanted to be. The proximity of her and knowing she was alive and starting to heal as she slept was all that I wanted in that moment. I didnt’t feel a compulsion for anything except for her to get better.
She’s home now and slowly getting better. I’m taking care of her and everything else in life (like writing) seems insignificant.
My writing is important to me but I realized it will never be what she is to me, for you see, she is my muse in everything that I call this life and you have to take care of your muse …especially if your a writer …right…:).
Thanks again!
Excelsior!

This is the 1st of your posts I have read, and it did touch home. My wife as well recently underwent surgery, and I was her rock and gofor, thru her recovery process. She is well now, and her importance was clearly brought to the forefront of my mind during the healing process. Thanks
I’m glad this post touched you….I am glad your wife has recovered and is doing well..my wife is on the road to a full recovery and should be doing well soon…thank you your comment….
YOU are my rock, as I am you’re muse. Symbiotic and perpetual. Love you Mr. Wardlow.
Love you as well…:)
Philip, Philip. . .so sad to hear of your wife’s misfortune. But I’m glad to see that she is now doing much better now. While writing is important (being a writer myself) family is just as important. Glad to see you’ve taken that aspect well into consideratioin.
Thanks Devlin,,,,your comment is much appeciated….crossing my fingers for no other najor misfortunes this year or the next for that matter to rear its ugly head…I hope you and your famliy fair well also..
