My dear friends:

This is for those of you who might be wondering what happened to me.
I have been dealing (and still am) with several problems and changes in my life (both at the office and at home) that need all my attention. I´ve been too busy and haven´t had a second (nor will have) to check notes or send birthday´s greetings to those I love.  
I had to make the decision to "avoid" DA until I can get back and dedicate time to it.
I miss my friends so!
I also miss art very much (both yours and being able to do some myself). But sometimes one has to do what one has to do, and this time has come for me.  

I hope you will understand - I have no clue how long it will take until I´m organized again, but it will be a long time.

You are in my thoughts!  

Much love (and I mean it!),
Manny  

P.D. Don´t answer here, I won´t be able to read ... just hug me back and that will do!

Hello!  

I´m finally back, relaxed and recovered, ready to face 2011 with a smile again!

A huge pile of work was waiting for me at the office and of course, I´m very behind here.
But you already KNOW that! It happens to the best of us when we don´t show for... a week?
So imagine having been away for over a month!

I´m not connecting every day and I´ll tell you more about it on my next journal . Then I will also share the love I´ve been receiving for my 50th birthday tomorrow.

You ask how I feel of turning 50 tomorrow? I don´t know... Nothing that special.
The number scares, yet, it´s still just a number!
Experience tells me that I´ll probably feel absolutely nothing different - besides enjoying a lot of the extra love that I´ll most probably be given!!

Will get back to you soon , so don´t spend much time answering here.
Spare your typing for the next one !!

So glad I´m back!!! I missed you!


Manny
