Happy New Year to My Active Rain Friends! I'm Kinda Sorta Back!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Homes Arizona Real Estate LLC

For years I have blogged. I've blogged on CometoSunnyAz.com, I've blogged on my website, HomesAzRE.com, and I've blogged on Active Rain. Last December I had a knee replacement - and, of course, that is a surgery that takes awhile to regain the strength and the energy to do everything I did before the surgery. Thus, I became a bit fickle on regularly posting. As I started to "somewhat" get back into the swing of things, I had the other knee replaced in October of this year. AND THEN, an unexpected hospitalization on December 20th of this year - and still recuperating.

It's now time for me to get back on the computer and write interesting and fun stuff about Arizona, about Mesa, and about real estate in general.  Once I get my rhythm, it'll be all good. I've not forgotten all of my AR friends who I occasionally see on Facebook, a shorter and quicker way to communicate. I hope you are all doing well and have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Meanwhile, be sure and check out homes for sale information. I will be posting for cities and for communities and for bank owned, short sales, etc. Just let me know if you have any questions that I might be able to answer.

wow... being off my feet for all that time, that woulda caused me to take to my laptop, and blog non-stop.  Y'all woulda been totally sick of me, rather than the just basically sick of me that you are now.

Teri:  It's nice to see you here again.  Glad you are back and I hope your recovery is quick and complete!  You were one of the very first people that inspired me to begin my blog here on A.R.  Best Wishes for a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year.

Hi Teri ~ It is hard - at least for me - to get back in the groove once you've gotten off track.  Sounds  like you've had some real challenges to boot.  May 2011  find you in one piece and blogging up a storm!!

Hi everyone! thanks so much for your comments! It'll take some time, but I plan to make being back on Active Rain a daily event. It's so good to finally fell well enough to think, to write and to visit! ;-)

Todd, thanks for your thoughtful words, you are a good friend too, and I expect to see you finally one of these days.

Debbie, dancing is on my agenda......

Teri,

I came by to see what the Lady in Red did for Valentine's Day.  I'm fairly certain that you did something wonderful, and that there was some red involved.  I guess I'll go check out facebook.

We're all rooting for you; come on back!

Teri,.. about 6 years ago I had a brain tumor removed.  Non-cancerous, but annoying.   These types of things help us to get to know ourselves.   Personal fortitude comes to mind.  It's nice to know you may have been down, but you're not out! 

I was once called  "dizzy Lizzy", and I never thought it would end up being so true!  LOL.  I can now do most anything, except roam around in the dark, or climb tall ladders, and for that I retain the help of strangers, or anyone else I can hold on to!

btw... I was almost  room mates with Cindy McCain.  There was only 1 bed left in Intensive care, and it was in the room that I was in.   I left a few hours before she showed up for her brain issue.  Imagine the conversations we could have had about Arizona politics.  Of course having just been through brain surgery, she might have thought I was a bit crazy.

Karen, you are definitely right about that. My new knee is five months old, and doing well....glad that it's over. ;-)

Mike, I'm here - sorta. ;-)

Liz, thanks for stopping by and sharing your experience. I am glad to know dizzy Lizzy...;-)

Still praying for you here in Oregon that you get back up on your feet again and get back in the groove of things. I know things didn't seem like they were going your way with the knee replacements and unexpected hospital visits, but we know you'll be back, the best always come back.

Hi Todd, all better now. Still careful with the knees, but it's all good. I'm still here, and I see you on FB! ;-)
