I would like to take this opportunity to say Thank You to all of my many deviant art friends and watchers who have faved my photos lately.

There are too many to address individually, although I hope that my faving some of your work will let you know that I am watching you, too!

Dear dA friends,

the summer heat here in florida is unbearable...
i have gone back to work full time after being out for 3 months to heal. hopefully, the doc will take me off of the horrible antibiotics on Tuesday...then i can begin the healing process of being without them in my system for the past 4 months.

i knew that the time was drawing near, however, i just realized that my dA subscription as a premium member will be up in about three weeks.

oh well.

hospital and doctor bills have taken priority right now. i can't afford to renew. i don't know what or how things will change on dA without a sub...it's been too long for me to remember what it is like without one.

i do have an account on fineartamerica.com as 'terry rogers'...and will try to maintain both accounts as i can.

forgive my lack of communication this past few months. I appreciate your comments, faves, and wonderful art!!

My last journal made mention of a serious health issue that I was gifted with. Shortly after I wrote it, I was readmitted to the hospital for 6 more days...This time in the ICU with pulmonary embolism.

I have had a rough Spring. Especially since I am not one to enjoy taking pharmaceuticals...and I have been on many of them, trying to recover from two separate life threatening conditions.

I am pleased to say that recovery is coming along nicely...although I do think that I need to get off the meds soon as they are affecting my liver and pancreas. Highly toxic, to say the least.

anyway, I just want to drop by and let you know that I am doing much better and plan to return to work the first of June. I have even begun riding my bike lately, which has been a lifesaver. Cabin fever has been difficult to deal with at times.

I haven't been very active with the camera, as you can see. I hope that will change once I get back to 'my life.' I did have two photographs in an art show at the University of Florida Law School back in April.

These past three months have offered me a chance to do some 'deep thinking.' In a lot of ways, I feel like a different person. When death comes knocking on your door, rattling chains, one tends to re-evaluate their life. The months ahead are going to be interesting. Transformation often comes when one faces death.

at any rate, I have been watching my dA friends. As always, your art inspires me and brings beauty, as well as creativity to my days.
Thank you! Thank you for the comments and support.

I hope to be more active in the near future.

Terry
