Feelin’ So Good, I Don’t Care That My Blog Blew Up
Well, Looks Like Typepad blew up last night and a few of my most recent posts are missing. They’ve got a recent back-up running until such time as all their hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of blogs can be republished from the database. I can republish manually, but at the moment, looks like everyone is trying to republish.
But I feel good. I mean: good.
A friend and business colleague in Pittsburgh emailed me this morning after I emailed him yesterday, apologizing for not returning his call of a few days ago:
Just get well, Richard. There is almost no better feeling than feeling good after you have been feeling bad.
Aint that the truth? Other than the once or twice a year cold, I get sick enough to crawl into bed about once every two years, and it’s normally no longer than a day. This time put me down for four days. No idea what it was, but it was long enough I completely forgot what it was like to feel good.
But I’m back now, and I just really can’t believe how good it feels to feel good.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT AND HOW IT WORKS
Free The Animal is an eclectic writing project about everything since November 2003. 23 years, 5,500 posts, 5 million words.
It's a paid membership blog. Most posts are free and public, but only paid members can comment. What determines whether it's free or paid is when I publish. Monday through Friday, free and public. Saturday and Sunday, for paid members. That's it. Membership info here.
Hey, I didn't know you'd been sick. hope you're feeling better.
That feeling afterward, like the world is your oyster and you can do anything, it's almost worth being sick just to get that.
I've wondered if that feeling is just relief at whatever it is finally passing, or if the forced rest is actually that recuperative, even if it is not in the best of circumstances.
U didn't blow up ur blog after all…LOL..do leave me a comment.. Merry Christmas!!! Best wishes..Xian
