Thank you my dearest blog buddies for your good wishes, and I'll be thinking of you all, even in the spinal treatment room, yes, really!! Wish you were there, hahahahaha.

No, seriously, big thanks to you all, and to the fact I can blog away my pains here. I'm keeping fingers crossed the spinal therapy can alleviate some of this intolerable pain.
I'm leaving for Germany, and the health resort now.

Take care all of you, keep warm and see you later.
Love,

Health and cheerfulness make beauty; finery and cosmetics cost money and lie.
-Spanish proverb

The best things in life are nearest:
Breath in your nostrils,
light in your eyes,
flowers at your feet,
duties at your hand,
the path of right just before you.
Then do not grasp at the stars,
but do life's plain,
common work as it comes,
certain that daily duties
and daily bread are the sweetest things in life.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Well blog buddies, tomorrow I shall be flying off to Deutschland...where snow is forecast on Tuesday, and a maximum of 3 degrees.

This is no holiday however, but a chance to seek therapy, treatment, comfort and hope where, tragically, our NHS have failed. I will stay only 3 full days, beside a Benedictine abbey, part of which is from the middle ages, but the place of worship is strikingly Coventry Cathedralesque...with a Coventry Straße being quite a surprise in the town!

I seek solace, in the peace and tranquility, assurance, with the treatments, nature's goodness from the vast pine forests, apetite with the host of gorgeous cheeses, and something divine within a building that could be found in some European classics written in the 17th century. Nobody says too much there, but enough to be content, nothing is too modern, yet it is state of the art, the modern is somehow overpowered by the weight of history within, though the technology is the very reason we enter the health resort in the first place. Technology and medicinal properties are located there too, because of something far deeper and greater than any of us...the power of the earth on which we live and depend, and that is a huge factor in my choosing it...I'm sick of hearing people thinking themselves 'above the earthly nonsense' and that the human way is to damn all the earth's qualities into touch.

How dare they.

True, the past is the past, however the earth is our future. We create a past while the earth creates our future.

The past will find us if need be, so for now I see my future in the hands of the most natural of methods, and will post again after the experience I sincerely hope will ease the pain so great in my broken spine.

haben sie eine gute woche meine wundervollen blog freunde!!

My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people:
Those who do the work and those who take the credit.
He told me to try to be in the first group;
There was much less competition.
