Taking Time Out for Health Reasons



The blog has been really quiet this last week or so, as has my Twitter stream and other online outposts. This is due to some serious health issues I’m having at the minute, which is leaving me drained.

Therefore, I’m taking an extended break to hopefully work myself back to full health. I’m currently waiting on some test results to see what the next stage is. There will still be the odd post here as I hand over the blog reins to other writers. 12for12k will be looked after by the core back-room team, so please continue your awesome support there as we move more into 2010.

Thanks for coming by here like you do, and hopefully you’ll still be around when I’m back online. Until the next time, take care.

Danny, I'm just a follower, but I am also a cancer survivor - don't know what particularly ails you - but I can tell you that 'young whippersnappers' such as yourself stand a great chance of survival!! Ask questions, don't settle, you will be fine. Don't think that will be a problem for you based on your writings.

As Churchill said, keep calm and carry on. Hope you are well enough to keep writing and posting!

If there is ANYTHING that I can do, don't hesitate to ask. My connections are in Chicago and Atlanta. But you never know . . we know people all over.
you are the best . . . be well.

Geez dude, you think you have enough support? I don't know if I have every needed to ride the scroll-bar for so long!

May the voluminous positive vibes from all of your peeps (mine included) contribute to your speedy recovery!

Oh, and since I believe in the value of coincidences I am reading a great book that has many clues to good health: "The China Study" @elliotross

Danny, I wish you a speedy recovery. Not so you can get back to blogging & tweeting, but so that you can enjoy the life you are meant to have -- a happy, healthy one with your wife and family. ;-)

Trust me, all of this craziness will still be here months from now. And your friends will all be here for you if and when you decide to get back to your blog. But health and family come should always come first.

Sending you well wishes my friend,
Beth

Hope whatever's got your attention now passes by fast so you can come back better than ever mate!
