On a mission to pen the perfect verse.

Struggling

Blog Posted by Thvia Shetley: 11/7/2010 4:35:00 PM
Hello again my dear Poetry Soup friends.  I'm in the process of judging The Devil Made Me Do It contest and wow, it's so difficult!  What a talented group we have here!

It's been a week since Michael left to go home to Scotland and the stress and depression of not having him here is taking its toll on my health.  I struggle with an illness called Lupus and have been extremely sick.  But I am so enjoying each entry as I am able to read them, I suspect it may take me another week to finish but it's coming along. 

Thank you again for supporting my first contest, it's been so enjoyable for me and has certainly kept me going inasmuch as I've been able to.

Take care of your health first, Thvia. It's far more important to us than the results of a contest. Many of us are sending prayers your way! Love, Carolyn
