When I look back, I find that Destiny and I have not been friends. Boulders were strewn in my path with such regularity that I always have had the distinct feeling that Destiny held a grudge against me. Now there are some who’d say it’s all for the best. It makes one a more spiritual person. Oh really? Then please, you are welcome to take my share of boulders and make yours a more spiritual life. I hope those ‘some of them’ know what’s good for them and will refrain from talking such utter tripe, such balderdash to me. Anyways…
Destiny has been snapping at my heels quite long enough. We are two old buddies (or enemies, it is just a matter of perspective) who try to get the upper hand by pushing the other down. Destiny seems to always want me to bite the dust (and stay down for good), so is inclined to sit on my head when I am down. On my part, after swallowing and breathing in a lot of dirt, I eventually stagger back to my feet pushing Destiny off my head, and am on my way… at least that’s what I have been doing fairly well until now. So let me hope once again I will be able to do that.
What I wanted to say is that, this blog is taking a break because Destiny just broke my heart. It has successfully stolen from me my most favorite thing, my ability to write or rather type. I have hurt my arm. Let me see how long it takes for me to punch Destiny in the face (without hurting my arm), perhaps a week, maybe a couple of them (and I really hope it’s not longer than that). I will be back to my job of punching people with words as soon as that is done. Until then, bye. Ciao.

Sorry to hear this. Take care, hope things get better soon!
Almost back to normal, thank you Sangitha 🙂
Get well soon.. and come back to bombard us with back-to-back posts. We’ll land a couple of proxy punches on Destiny meanwhile!
I think the proxy punches worked 😉
oh no. I hope you recover fast. your posts will be missed. xoxo
So here I am recovered, almost, though it gave me a terrible scare. What if I couldn’t write?! The imagination boggles.
Get well soon Shail. Holding good thoughts for you .
Thanks Kavita and welcome to Shail’s Nest 🙂
This is most unfortunate. More than us getting joy from your writings I know how soul satisfying it is for you. So as you say..”Chin up!” in a week.
Thanks and hugs for that. Kept that chin up all week! 🙂
Sorry to hear this.
I too have been hit.
For the past four months, I am affected by osteo arthritis and have now retired .
Till Nov 2011 I was an advisor and was visiting my office regularly.
I have now hung up my boots for good and spend time enjoying my Ipad, lap top and my new Samsung Galaxy Note.
Your blogs and other great blogs like those of IHM had given me strength to face this forced physical inactivity and I took refuge in the internet and in reading, and listening to music.
While my leg was affected, my fingers could continue to tap on the keyboard and I kept myself occupied.
In your case, I quite understand but fortunately, this will only be a temporary break and I look forward to reading you again as soon as you are able to use your hands.
Take your time. Your loyal readers will wait. We are not going anywhere.
Get well soon
Regards
GV
Hi GV,
If you have arthritis then not rest, but activity should be of aid. I would recommend the site kneeguru.co.uk as a great resource for finding reliable information on how to deal with knee troubles.
Well I guess I am following on that osteo-arthritis bit 🙂 Like PGW says, keeping active is the best bet for overcoming it. And I hope no more breaks are in sight for me in the near future. 🙂
iyoo…if you give a photo and address of this Destiny chap….I can send some goons to smash him into a pulp you know
Come back soon…..
Now that’s what I call a loyal friend. As soon as find where the eel-like Destiny chap is I will holler fro you to come and lend a hand. 😉
😦
Get Well Soon.. And stop blaming Destiny, its clumsiness 😛
Really? 😉 And since when has clumsiness been the reason for tennis-elbow/osteoporosis? 😐
You are a fighter Shail, you will come back charging!
That I am. Thank you Purba 🙂
😦 Get well soon Shail! Hugs!
Hugs back 🙂
😦 Get well soon. Love and hugs:-)
Hugs back Gulshan 🙂
Well I know that feeling lived with it for 4 years but in my case along with destiny it was the people who said they cared also conspired agaonst..
But dont let it put u down..
Ok a little break will do good. All thw best and take care come back soooooooon
Yeah, some rest to the arm and to eyes 🙂 Thanks Biks.
Ouch! Get well soon Shail. In the meantime try Dragonspeaking … its a taping software. It types as you speak. You need to edit a lot – but it works in short doses
I sure am keeping that in mind for the future. Thanks for the suggestion Ritu. 🙂
Damn ! you’ll be missed. I hope the arm gets better soon and once again you are able to Punch destiny – Straight in the eye !
You know what is a sure fire way to restore your spirits .. A good dose of Blandings Castle and Lord Emsworth 🙂
I hope I was missed. Now I miss you! And what a coincidence, Blandings Castle and Lord Emsworth were just the things I chose to cheer me up! 🙂
Destiny does get into one’s hair,
otherwise life wouldn’t be fair.
To get well soon I offer my prayer,
till then be a good girl and take care. 🙂
Thank you Govind 🙂
Has this got anything to do with the date it is posted? 🙂 I wish it has
Shail is probably laughing her head off, wondering how many think like this, aren’t you, Shail?
I wish too, it were. 🙂
Even I would have thought so 😦 But the arm is still hurting her 😦 Get well soon Shail Aunty 😀
Awww thanks cat. I iz mizz the catz. What youz up to?
That never struck me at all till much later.
Aiyo..get well soon please and you can perhaps type with one hand *looks hopeful*
Lol, I have been doing a bit of that typing with one hand thing 😉 🙂
Come back soon 😦
Here I am 🙂
get well soon and take care.
Thank you 🙂
Take care and feel better soon!
{{{hugs}}}
Thank you Pixie and (((((hugs))))))
Get better soon Shail. I will be waiting for compensatory posts as soon as you can type painlessly again! 🙂
Lol, those compensatory posts are all right now only-in–my-head 😉 Thanks Debo.
ohh get well soon!! first I thought its an April Fool joke then saw you are serious.
Thanks Reema. I never noticed the date when I posted. Later on I started wondering if you all thought it was a joke on my part!
Get well soon Shail!! Hope it’s nothing serious!
Welcome to Shail’s Nest PGW. I am curious to know what the initials stand for?
A tennis elbow and not quite recovered yet 🙂
So sorry to hear this, but enjoy your break as much as you can so that you can come back refreshed!
Thanks Beth. I am back refreshed 🙂
