Still Alive! Actually, Very Much Alive!

Well, I’ve taken an awful long time off. The task of trying to catch up on the blog just seems so daunting. I faithfully blogged every day while I was able to, but internet access, time & patience became considerations once I was back on my feet & out & about!

I’m posting the Christmas letter I sent around to a few family & friends. My laptop died a few weeks ago, so I haven’t had all the resources I thought I would! If you didn’t get it, it could be due to the fact that my address book that is backed up is over 1 year old! In any case, excuses, excuses, right!?

2011 has been a wonderful year, with the words – REMISSION ringing loudest in my head – of course, time will only strengthen the word, but for now, I can breathe easier & enjoy life to the fullest! Well, a slightly larger version of the fullest I was formerly experiencing!

I hope you had a phenomenal year & 2012 will bring nothing but joy & health & happiness for you – whatever version of that you dream of!

I’ll do my best to periodically update the blog – don’t expect too much too often! Thanks for checking in now & then & by all means – if you have any questions or comments, write me!

Much love from a healthier, hairier version of my former self,

Maria Valentina
