Goodbye


Goodbye. Yes I am going to leave you. My condition improved a lot. The medication kicked in but I still continue to feel tired easily. The doctor can't do anything more because my levels are back in the normal range so I have to find a solution in a different way. I also have to work more hours so I need all my energy. That's why I decided to stop blogging. Otherwise everything is fine and my hubby is looking well after me.

At this stage I don't know if I come back. I might not but I will visit you from time to time and I will leave my blog here. Your blogs are great and you all deserve a medal for that but I'll just blow you a kiss. I have had a great time and really enjoyed blogging which wouldn't have been fun without you, my friends. Some of you have become really special to me. Thanks for our time together. If you ever come to visit New Zealand stop by for a coffee. You are welcome!

The following is an Irish quote and with that I leave you:

“May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.”

Love Marja

  7. Lieve Marja, ik hoop oprecht dat het goed met je gaat en heb er alle begrip voor dat je kiest voor je gezondheid en je gezin. Bloggen moet een plezierige bezigheid zijn en geen dwangmatig gevoel geven. Er zijn soms belangrijker dingen die meer aandacht vragen. Het is leuk als je af en toe nog eens langskomt in mijn blog en dat ik weer iets van je mag lezen. Je gedichten en verhalen hebben mij erg geboeid en ik zal zeker nog vaak terugkomen om bepaalde dingen terug te lezen.
    Nogmaals, ik hoop dat je gezond blijft, want dat is de grootste rijkdom die een mens kan worden geschonken. Het gaat je goed Marja en wie weet misschien ontmoeten wij elkaar nog eens als je Holland weer bezoekt. Als je dat leuk vind moet je het even laten weten, mijn e-mail adres is je bekend.
    Dag Marja, groeten aan je man en kinderen.
    Herman

  9. Joann Ik zal je zeker bezoeken nu en dan. Je blog is erg mooi. Wie weet zijn we wel familie van 10 generaties geleden of zo. Maar in ieder geval een naamgenoot moet je in ere houden. Ik hoop dat je nog een goede tijd met je hond mag hebben. Hij is echt schattig.

  11. Dickiebo I will miss you. You were one of my first friends and I never forget how you came on my blog to scare me with the Society for the prevention of cruelty to Flies after I posted my joke about the fly in the beer. I loved reading your police stories. You are an amazing writer and I will certainly hop in and read some more.

  17. My heart feels hollow Marja. What can I say..., I'm going to miss you so much. The DutchCorner has always been a safe haven for those of us who are out there exploring the virtual world. We always knew we would be welcome here to a bit of sanity.
    I guess I can understand the energy it takes to return here every day and blog. To try and always come up with new content..., but even your old content is good enough to return and re-read. So I'll be back! Your still on my favorite list.

  18. Jen we have a lot in common. Our live both surrounds about learning disabilities. I was so glad that I found your blog because you are such a stron woman and that was and is a great inspiration for me.
    I will visit you sometimes and still want to go to your LD blog. You have a great amount of energy. Miss you too and wish you all the best for your family.

  21. Oh Wynn. Sorry to hear you've got the same problem. Yes that is the best advice to just get up and go on. You don't have a choice. It seems that many people with this have the same problem. But anyway dear Wynn I especially will miss you. You are one of my longest and dearest friends and I will certainly come and visit you sometimes. You are a great person.
    Hope all is good with your wonderful horses on your beautiful island. You live in a great place.

  25. Marja,

    Please come back! Your blog is wonderful and it should be regrettable that we don't read new postings anymore; maybe try to limit and do one posting in a week

    Marja,

    Het is jammer zulk bericht te lezen; ik mis je nu al.
    Schrijf mij een email zodat wij in contact kunnen blijven.

    Jij bent een echte vriend en ik hoop nog dikwijls van U te horen

    I waited a couple of days in the hope I would come here to find it was an April Fools joke. But it wasn't. I can't put into words how much I'll miss comimg here, and of course your visits to me . You always seem to have just the right comment every time!

    You laughed at my attempt at Dutch once - do you remember? So I thought the least I could do was put a smile on your face with another attempt.

    Ik ben zo droevig dat u hebt beslist ons te verlaten. Ik zal u missen

    I hope I havnt accidentally said anything rude!

    Bless you Marja

  47. Hi Marja! I stopped by to say hi after I've been out of town and sick with the flu, and I read that you haven't been well and that you won't be blogging any more. I feel REALLY sad about this. I've really enjoyed your posts with the beautiful way you write about life and the world. You are a really amazing person and I don't want to lose touch. I hope I do get a chance to come to New Zealand someday! Let me know if you come to California. I hope you are able to blog again when you feel stronger, too. Take care and feel better!!!!
