      Hello Ann-Christine, I have been going through some health problems and have had a couple of surgeries – one just before Christmas and later in January, so I could not write. I left a note here mid December. My health is OK now, but my mind is still elsewhere. Thank you for caring. I hope you are well.

      Hello Ark. Yes, it has been a few months. I left a note here mid December, but I guess people did not see it. I am OK healthwise now after long, but my mind is still elsewhere. Thank you, Ark.

    Hi Paula, I hope you are recovering. I know what you mean that your mind is elsewhere. Mine also for health reasons and I have just returned to find that you have been missing also. Sorry I couldn’t send my best wishes at the time but virtual hugs now and hope that we again see each other when you are ready to return.

        Thank you so much, Paula for your kind words 🙂

        Over last couple of years, I have been quite inconsistent with respect to my blogging.

        Challenges of a young family and those associated with my official work made my blogging journey take a back seat.

        But, this Pandemic is kind of a reminder for me to identify what really matters in life. Spending quality time for our own hobbies or things we are passionate about is really important and that really helps in our quality of life as well.

        Hope, I manage my time in a much better manner even when things get back to normality 🙂

        Have a great day 🙂

    Paula I was so happy to see you here once again- I am sorry to read of your health problems though, and hope you are doing well now. I have been blogging sporadically, Covid 19 has taken my ind elsewhere, but I will come back to your challenge later. Work starts today- back into school with much trepidation.
