RE: Diary of an Unbroken Child: My Autobiography Chap. VII
Wow. I thought I've had kind of an interesting life. Man, you are walking Americana!
Absolutely love the part about the Croatoans. I had heard of the "lost colony" of course, but I never knew there was a group that claimed descent. How cool is that! Reminds me of the plains tribes called the Mandans who were blond-haired, blue-eyed and spoke Welsh. They are all gone now, but some say they were descended from a Welsh Prince (Madoch) who was kicked out of North Wales in the 13th Century and came to the new world...
Fascinating stuff, Rich. Almost any paragraph here could be expanded into a short story that would fill quite and anthology...
I had intended to make it much longer but I'm so burned out! I need a few days to gather strength. I sent for some monatomic gold which is supposed to be good for mental acuity. I had to hurry this to go to the hospital for a breathing treatment. Maybe I'll add to it some more I barely wrote about my Time in Texas.
Don't put more pressure on yourself! Get well first...We'll be praying for you, bro!
I just wanted you know the potential I see here....
Well I've spent the day trying to heal feeling guilty for not producing anything! It seems I'm incapable of resting!
Well, for some people working is their "rest." Only you know what kind of a toll it is or isn't taking, Rich.
If it feels like work, go do something you KNOW is relaxing for you for a bit, and come back later.
I have pressure... I live off what I make on Steemit, plus I help my ex support our granddaughter. I'll feel a lot better when crypto prices get back up again. I don't want to start cashing in my "old age" savings for $0.30 on the dollar!
Ouch. I see what you mean. Still, you are no good to anyone else if you let the stress overwhelm you, my friend. Gotta make for some 'peace time,' no matter what.
Actually, I thrive on stress! Unfortunately this beat up old body can't keep up. I broke my back in 85 (I think that comes up in the next chapter) and for the last 15 or so years I've had to depend on pain killers to remain functional- otherwise I'm bedridden. I live on coffee, cigarettes (I'm trying to quit these) and pain meds.
Have you had the back x-rayed and all that, Rich? No operation would help?
