Subject: Self-Positivity Apology - August19, 2002



Hi there everyone.  First off, I need to offer an
apology.  I havent sent the ezine to you for a
while, and you deserve to know why.  
Unfortunately, I just haven't been able to get
online to send this before now, but I want to
thank you all for being so patient.  


End of June, I had an eye test that discovered
part of my vision had gone in my right eye.  
Needless to say, considering I support myself
working with computers, and relax usually with a
book or surfing online, this was a bit disturbing,
but the optometrist didn't seem overly worried.  
The script she wrote for my glasses, though, did
not seem right, so I arranged another appointment
with a different optometrist.  That was scheduled
about 2 weeks later, by which time I had lost more
of my sight.  This lady took it seriously, but
still didn't find any tears in the retina (what
usually causes the 'black curtain' effect).  At
least she told me what she was looking for,
though, and offered me the option of going to a
specialist.  I did some research, got concerned,
and arranged an appointment.  Since then I've been
back & forwards to Sydney, and last week was
checked in for surgery on my eye to reattach the
several tears that the specialist I ended up with
found for me.  I will eternally be grateful that I
was referred to him - he's even recovered most of
my sight, but I need to be very careful for the
next couple of months.  Reading is strictly
limited, as is the amount of time I spend on the
internet, until I've recovered and both eyes are
fitted with new glasses.


I'm taking down my login details here, and
hopefully I'll find someone who can type & upload
my dictation so you still have something coming
out to you, but the html version will not be
formatted as it usually is until I get back online
myself.  I'll try to make sure the writing at
least is worth it for you (hey, I'll have plenty
of time to lie and think for a while!)  I'm also
planning on using this time while I am supposed to
limit reading, TV and internet to actually start
WRITING something I've been wanting to get down to
for a while, the book I want to get out there on
why Self-esteem is such a problem & the little
things we can do about it in our own lives & the
lives of our children.


I expect it will be somewhere between a month and
2 months before I'm ready to take harness again,
and I hope you will bear with me in that time (and
forgive any typo's my friend makes - she's doing
it out of her own time & the goodness of her
heart).  I'll look forward to getting back in
touch before Christmas, hopefully with the good
news that I'm all fixed and the book's nearly
ready...


Meanwhile, take care, and maybe take a minute or
two to send your good wishes my way - I
wholeheartedly believe that things like that can
help speed your healing miraculously.


Best Wishes,

Crystal Woods
