| 10/18/2012 In the last few days I've thought about this with all my heart and mind, my health is failing me, my health comes first. I cannot get into anymore political debates it's taking a toll on me. I hold no bad feelngs towards anyone, we may disagree with each other with a passion, but that's life and many different opinions. My Dr. tells me that my red blood cells are running rampant, as he tells me this can cause a stroke or a heart attack, he's trying to find another way besides a flobotomy ( draining blood to lower red blood cells,) I'm resigned that life does come to an end, if not today, maybe tomorrow or a year from now. I will miss you all, I love you and will hold a special lace in my heart....................... Love Joe...... |

| Joe, just stay off the political discussions and post in the beauty sections that we all enjoy and smile about. Your love of nature must certainly be a joy.
Of course, do what your doctor feels is best for you. We all seem to have our burdens these days and need to make our best choices for our own health.
If you feel well enough. I hope you continue to post your beautiful photographs. Be well. |

| P.S. - I don't have enough red blood cells and the ones I have are too small to hold enough oxygen. Life is strange, isn't it? |

| Best of luck Joe and I hope that your health improves. Maybe what DK said helps.... post your art and don't get into the political discussions... I don't know. I read the political discussions, but they do not upset me and most often I do not post into them. I hate to think that they get any of you so upset that they have an effect on your health Huggles, Katja |

| Joe, I can only say that I agree with what others have posted. We know that life is short and we must do everything we can to make those last days enjoyable. |

| Dear Joe,
I am sorry you are feeling so badly. Let your mind rest a bit. Don't look at Facebook or this political thread. I will be glad when the election is over my self. I find all the anger toward either candidate mentally draining.
Take a walk and breathe in. Let all this hype leave your mind with each breath. Be sure to take your camera with you. You see so much beauty all around you. Some people do not see beauty at all. They can only see their feet moving and what is in their way. It takes a special person to be able to slow down and actually see what is around them. You are that kind of special person who has a special eye of appreciation for the beauty of detail. You are twice blessed. You have the knowledge of the camera, as well, and can record that beauty for (even those people who do not notice it in their path) all to share. Not only that, you have a love of animals and that shows the kindness of your heart. I know that Dusty is upset if you are. Give her a pet from me and all the animals of the Woods.
Love,
Betty |

| Dear Alice,
Please elaborate.
Adversity is always with us. I was just saying to Joe that, sometimes, it is best to take a break from it and find the joy and beauty of this earth.
Love,
Betty |

| Betty ,
Look back over your own life and reflect. We must seize the joy of the moment. I have had problems that I wished would end and when they did, Hello, there was a new one.
I agree with your advice to Joe.
I don't think we will gain any peace when this election ends--we didn't after the last one. I hope I am wrong
Love ya,
Alice, |

| If our sense of peace depends on things that we cannot control, then peace will be very hard to come by.
I applaud Joe for realizing he has reached his limit, and has decided to opt for protecting his health. Hopefully, he will come back when he has found that sense inside.
Namaste(Peace), Joe

| Joe, I hope you can return. But if you cannot, you will not be forgotten here. We are all the better for having known you. Maybe just drop in from time to time to let us know how you're doing. We'd all appreciate it. |
