Story of my Long Absence

Sometimes I forget I have A Writer's Chaos to report my chaos. I get so busy with life.

A quick run down on the past few months:

Late August through mid-September, I was in Fresno, California where I once lived. My former wife of 36 years ago and my two sons from that marriage live there. I should say lived there, for my ex died while I was visiting. She had been ill a long time. My older son was living in her house taking care of her for the past three years. There was no surprise in her passing. Nevertheless, both my sons were shaken up by the event. I'm glad I was out there to help them move through the initial mourning stages. I got to see her for the first time in many, many years. It was the morning of the day she died. She was unconscious, breathing rapidly and shallowly. I had the feeling she was making her preparation for leaving. My hope was that she was no longer angry with me. Even though she had decided on the divorce, she never forgave me for having been out of her life. A strange and complex lady.

Then again, I was in Fresno for two more weeks bridging October and November. This time to help them with estate issues. Getting to know two grown men was definitely a learning experience for me. My initial impulse had been to treat with them as if they were still youngster. A big mistake on my part. So, you see, my inner chaos occurring from these events is still churning away inside. In time, my world will settle down again, and will then get back to working on my next novel, which has taken the back seat for the longest time.

Another issue: I've been working on my health. I'm not ill. Not even diminished in enregy. On the contrary, I've stepped up my healing practices by adding a new supplement to my intake. Was taking food based multi vitamins, a bio-enzyme, CoQ10, sublingual B12, and a super antioxidant - and feeling great! Now, I've added ACAI Plus, which is a super nutritional drink - and feeling greater yet! Saw my chiropractor yesterday. He told me I had become more supple in the joints. My energy levels have increased. I sleep better than ever. My appetite has decreased. My weight is normal. This is awesome stuff. And probably the reason why I am writing this blog today.

Now a new idea is blossoming in my mind. A campaign to urge others to do something for improving the state of their body/minds. My point is that each of us owes it to our society to get fully healed, so that we can collectively make the proper decisions and changes necessary for the healing of or planetary home.

Well, this is enough for today. Stay tuned. More interesting material is forth coming.

Cheers for now,
