I composed this post while I was preparing to leave the hospital this time last week.  The idea was to fire it off as I left and have it automagically appear on the site as Deb and I made our way back to Lamma.  That of course didn't happen, but the sentiments remain.

love, prayers, emails, chi balls, blue medicine Buddhas, text messages, phone calls, reiki, black chicken feathers, voice messages, hugs, jokes, visualisations, riddles, news, massage, smiles, companionship, happy thoughts, videos, incense, hand squeezes, blog comments, lessons in patience and perseverance, lock fitting, and even the oversized email attachments (!),
 
friends, family, and strangers,
 
I thank you.
