For the second time in my life, this spring season is peppered with serious health 
difficulties and also sprinkled with hope. Being someone who doesn’t like to go into details about my personal problems, especially on social media, I’ll just say I’m full of much optimism, hope, and healing.
My setback has affected my writing life – writing children’s manuscripts that is. I haven’t been able to write since November, and I’m okay with that. It may be another six months before I can again. Yet something tells me it will be much sooner.
But the nice thing about writing and creating is that it’s flexible. You can stop when you need to and pick up where you left off. While it’s nice to write everyday, it’s not always doable or a reality for many, no matter the reason. That’s not to say I’m not thinking about my stories, or reading about the writing craft.
Maybe the better advice is to always have the frame of mind to write everyday. Or to be poised and ready to write as the window of opportunity presents itself if you have unavoidable obstacles. It doesn’t mean you’re not dedicated to your craft of writing – just truthful.
For the second time in my life, I will power through this rough path. 
But I’m not alone – I have faith and hope. And isn’t that what this Easter and Spring season is all about? 
“The darkest hour is just before dawn.” I believe!
Your input: When faced with health difficulties, are you able to write anyway? Or do you take a break and give your body a chance to heal?
