Your beautiful pictures belie your body's state. :-)

Happy birthday. :-) If I could pay my own bills, I'd donate to you in a heartbeat, but I'm a bit in a hard way right now.

thankyou. :) it took about 12 hours to shower and snap a few pictures, interspersed with lots of rest! it was harder work than i anticipated. :)

times are tough for a lot of people these days. ofcourse just saying "happy birthday" is enough! just these wishes are more than enough. so thankyou.

i appreciate your concern, but your experience with tinnitus seems to me very unlike the severe, debilitating, objectively observed, measured, and documented, and multisystemic signs and symptoms which i exhibit now, involving the neurological, musculoskeletal, and gastrointestinal systems primarily, although symptoms also exist in virtually every bodily system, which are not associated with "anxiety" of any kind. i have been blessed, in fact, with a period of deep peace and joy, and abundant time for spiritual reflection, in spite of these temporary difficulties. also, i think this is not at all about "believing" and is instead about comparing two separate clinical pictures of illness, which i believe from both a personal and professional point of view to be very different, even based on the limited information you've provided.

i think it is impossible to be wished a happy birthday too many times, especially from you. i just smile more each time. :)

you made my day, and so many of the recent days, truly wonderful, or at least wonderful in my heart. i feel so lucky.
