Dear Friends,
First, thank you all so much for all the prayers and good wishes you sent me during my illness and extended recovery and rehab. In my next essay (coming soon), I’ll give you more details and keep you all updated on my progress.
I would also like to thank Darcy for the incredible job she did keeping things going, answering emails, filling orders, and keeping you updated.
I’m slowly getting back to normal; I thought I could jump headfirst back into writing our newsletters, fixing computers, and answering all your email questions, but as I always do, I overestimated my ability to recover quickly. As Darcy reminded me while I was hospitalized, I’ll need to take it one day at a time and stop overestimating my ability to bounce back from serious health problems.
I thank Darcy, all of you, and God that I am on the road to recovery.
In the meantime, please do submit your computer questions by email, and I’ll do my best to answer. Your questions and your opinions form the foundation of all of our newsletters.
I hope to publish our daily newsletters starting this week and our weekly newsletters next week, depending on my progress.
Again, thank you all so much for your good wishes and prayers. I cannot tell you how much they mean to me.
With your understanding and God’s help, I will be able to keep on the road to recovery and get things back to normal soon.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Please take the time needed to recover. We can wait! As always, prayers for you. Take good care.
Praise the LORD you are going to heed Darcy and others to take things a bit more slowly. We’ve missed you!
You just take care of yourself and get better, We all miss you but want whats best for you, Glad you are do good,Always prayers for you .Also Darcy needs prayer to keep her going, Thanks Darcy for keeping us updated on TC. You two are great,.

Prayers for continued recovery. Take all the time you need, we aren’t going anywhere.
Please take it slow and get your health back, no hurry, we are still here. Sending healing thoughts your way TC just get yourself better. Margie in NJ
It was so good to hear from you TC and to know that you are making progress! YEA!
Best news ever! I’m so happy you’re on your way to recovery. I agree with everyone, take your time, go slow, listen to your body. As a person who’s “around your age” we tend to think we can bounce back like we used to, but…no!
Looking forward to having you back!
And THANK YOU Darcy, for being there when TC needed you( and still needs you!)
Sending thoughts and prayers to you. Take one day at a time, and hope you’ll be back on your feet soon.
So good to hear that finally you are on the recovery track. Have wondered how things have been going. Was so sad to hear about the set back .We think we can do more than we really can after a health issue….As Darcy told so…Take it a day at a time and don’t overdo…….Mildred
So good to hear from you, and to know you are back on the road to recovery! Take as much time as you need so that you fully feel like you are able to get back in the groove. Don’t push it.
Praying for you❤️!! Please take care of yourself!
We love you!
Great to hear from you. Don’t rush. Take the time you need to feel like yourself again.
Be good to yourself.
Love, 83-year-young Susan
Please do not push yourself. Your health comes first. I thank God you are recovering. I pray for a full and speedy recovery. May God place His healing hand upon you and give you the strength, endurance, and patience you need.
God bless you!
And TC, you have no idea how much you mean to us!!!
Take all the time you need for a good recovery ~ your health is the most important gift!
Warm wishes from Canada!
One day at a time, TC. You are like family & we don’t want to lose you. That being said, listen to the Doctors; they really do know best. Behave yourself & rest. We will be here. We’re not going anywhere.
Good to see you are on the mend an hoping to get back soon. Don’t overdue. Take care of yourself!
Ohhh your awesome TC. You just keep on getting better. Taking it slow.
We sure are happy you’re bouncing back. YAY
Good that you are improving but don’t rush it.
Best news EV ER! Doing my happy dance, God is good, all the time.
It was great to see an email from you in my inbox earlier! Although I’ve really missed the daily email tips and can’t wait to see them again, you do have to go slow and build up rather than jumping right into your previous daily activities. I’ve had several neck and back surgeries throughout the years (I’m 71 now), and I remember 2 doctors accused me of being an “I want it yesterday” person. But I learned the hard way that it’s not wise to jump back into our old routine too quickly. I may have prevented (or at least delayed for several years) 2 of the surgeries if I had just taken it a bit slower when recuperating. So don’t be like Gina! 😉 But seriously, welcome home.
If you will allow me to torture a metaphor, not unlike a computer after a massive OS update, your body needs a full, uninterrupted system restart to function properly. Unplugging completely now is the only way to avoid a system crash later. Great to hear you are gradually “rebooting” and look forward to your full operational status.
Yay!!!! You’re well on your way to getting back to whatever we all consider normal!
So good to hear.
Darcy is right, don’t overdo.
As you can see, we’re not going anywhere! Please take your time and we will be here when you’re ready. Thank YOU so much for all you do for us. For once now it’s time for you to take care of YOU.
It goes without saying that we have missed you greatly. Our thoughts and prayers have been with you for healing and restoration. Take care of yourself first and foremost, life is a precious gift!
So good to hear from you ! God is good !! Take the time to be yourself again and do not rush the process.
What more can I say that all of the people who love you havn’t already said. Good news about your progress. Yes, God IS good. Better to go easy now than to go through a relapse. Many blessings coming your way. And Darcy, it has been a trying time for you too, I am sure. You are the best and we all love you too!!! Wishing better days ahead for both of you and as always, thanks for what you do and the honest and sincere way that your do it.
This is such good news! Many prayers being answered right now. My husband just got home from 8 days in ICU with sepsis and is facing surgery in a few more days so we are right there in the trenches with you trying to fight our way back to whatever is now “normal”.
This is our new theme song:
One day at a time sweet Jesus
That’s all I’m asking from you
Give me the strength to do every day
What I have to do
Yesterday’s gone sweet Jesus
And tomorrow may never be mine
Help me today, show me the way one day at a time
I am continuing prayers for you and Darcy! You have a very loyal base of people who love you and Darcy. We will be here when you are ready to come back.
Good to hear from you TC and thank you Darcy for keeping us going smoothly.
You two are awesome in all you do. You’ve got an army of us wishing you well.
Prayers do work!
I’m so happy you’re back!!! We missed you so much!!! Please stay there by not doing too much work, not pushing yourself and limit your work until you recover completely for yourself, us and Darcy🙏.
The tricky thing about recovery is the WILL to get better. For those of us who have the overwhelming desire to get right back into the driver’s seat, the caution is not to go too fast. But on the other hand, if your desire is not overwhelming, then you might not. Your choice of which is better. I try to get back too soon, and I pay for it with a slower recovery. I suspect you are the same. Of course, at 91, I do take longer, but I will truthfully admit that when I thought I was fully recovered, I was not. Be well, my friend. Prayers are with you.
So happy to hear from you TC. Please take it slow and don’t rush your recovery.

So thankful for answered prayers! Glad that you’re on the mend and doing better. Take it slow, we haven’t gone anywhere so take the time you need to fully recuperate and get back to normal. I’m sure we’ll be hearing from you soon.
Slow and Easy, God will help you all the way through your recovery.
Please take care of yourself first we can wait till you are feeling better. When you are feeling up to working on a computer please let me know, no rush at all though I can wait. Just get yourself well and strong again.
Take your time to heal TC, so good to hear from you! Prayers from Oak Creek Wis.
This sounds wonderful! Take all the time you need to recover properly this time. We will still be here.
Good to hear the news, TC! Look after yourself first; the rest of us are in slow-and-steady mode, and you should be as well. We’ll be patient!
Darcy, you’ve done yeoman’s service in TC’s absence. For that, we cheer you!
Best wishes to you both from Port Coquitlam, BC, Canada. 🍁

Hi TC,
Glad to hear you are back and wishing you a full and speedy recovery.
Get Well again very soon.
Best Wishes and Regards,
Ron (U.K.)
Take enough time to recover TC, we’re here for you with continued prayers!
So happy you are getting better and just take your time before you over do it again. I bet Darcy and your family and your Cloudeight family members are all thrilled to get this message from you. God Bless and keep on improving cause we all sure do need our duo computer fixer uppers to help us out. Don’t trust anyone besides you both to work on my pc !
Hey TC. So happy you are on the mend. Gettin’ old ain’t for sissies and you just proved that you ain’t no sissy. As that song goes, ” One Day at a Time, Sweet Jeasus. Hugs, Connie Tyler
Well TC it’s so good to hear from you personally. I know what I’m about to suggest will sound too motherly, even though I think that I am around the same age as you, but maybe you should pair down some of your responsibilities, just temporarily, like doing the newsletter once every 2 weeks, or whatever, until you regain your strength. Just a slight modification can go a long way! My prayers will continue.
Whether we face trials or personal challenges, we can find solace in knowing God is always in charge. We’re encouraged to step forward in faith, believing in His promises and the beautiful plans He has for each of us. Praying for you. Big hugs, and know that you are missed.
