Leave of Absence


wealthymatters.comI have just been diagnosed with a medical problem which requires hospitalization and surgery.The further treatment will take up to two years after surgery.

At this point I wish to focus all my energies on fighting for my health and life.

As the Bhagwad Gita says:If wealth is lost nothing is lost,if health is lost something is lost and if character is lost everything is lost.I have now decided to make health my first priority.I will put wealth building on hold for a while.

I’m sorry I can’t keep my promise to post at least once a day.In future I will post as I’m able and when I’m in an OK frame of mind to think .Today morning’s post took me over 3 days to put up.I’m really distracted and can’t focus my mind enough to put up a quality article.

Dear regular readers, I’m sorry I can’t do much now and for occasional readers:Welcome!I hope you find what you are looking for and /or have a few hours of fun on my blog.

Please pray for me.Your good wishes mean a lot to me.
