and you keeping me in your prayers for a speedy recovery. It means more to me that you can ever know.


I was released from the hospital on Tuesday morning and have been taking it easy since then. I am lucky in that there was no major damage to my heart. (However, a heart attack at the age of 46 kind of puts things in perspective!!!). My Doctor's have advised me that I have to GREATLY lessen the stress in my life. They didn't exactly tell me how to do that, but I guess I'll have to figure it out myself.

On a lighter note, I uploaded the rest of the "English Leaves Script Alphabet" to the Group this morning. I have the next alphabet designed and most of it digitized, but there will probably be about a weeks delay before I start posting it so I can finish making the entire alphabet. I hope that you will bear with me on this. Here is the link for the new Group:

http://groups.yahoo.com/ group/griff...

Again, thank you all for your words of well wishes and your prayers recently. I certainly appreciated all of them.

Well, I guess that's all for now. I am now going to go tackle the 4,000 e-mails I have received over the past week.

Take care all,

Eric

Glad to hear you are home. Just do what the Dr. says and let anything that is not necessary slide to the side. It will all be there when you are fully recuperated. Take it easy and get plenty of rest. Mary

Eric I am glad you are out of the hospital. Now ask yourself the question what you can do to lessen the stress. Please take care of yourself. As I said before no fonts are that important. TAKE IT EASY.

Howdy yourself, Eric! You're not sounding like you're exactly taking the rest thing on board if you're still talking of digitizing alphas and completing things. That stuff can wait. Play freecell, solitaire, patience or whatever you call it with cards or online. I don't think you need to be thinking about any deadlines right about now, unless it's until your next good healthy meal, or nap time for you :) Enjoy having an excuse to wind down and take a break. Many might envy you that. Look forward to a long and healthy life and *slow down*!!!

Eric, I'm happy to hear that you are out of the hospital and doing better. Is there a wellness center you that offers Yoga classes. GREAT for de-stressing. If I couldn't do Yoga, I couldn't do! Take your time catching up we're "watching you". Take care of your fine self! ;)

Good to hear you are on the mend. My DH had some heart problems and they sent him to a stress management class that is given locally in our area. It did help and sometimes I remind him to check his stress when something comes up he can't control. Good luck getting your stress under control.
