Just so you know 
and understand
Edgar Allan Poe is my muse and has been since I was 10.

Do I need a break? From what?

If you're going through hell, keep going.

~Winston Churchill
Do I need a break from all my HEALTH ISSUES!!! COVID ROUND 1 IN MAY 2020 ALMOST KILLED ME, CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE, ACTIVITY ENDUCED ASTHMA (I WALK I CAN'T BREATHE, DAILY CORTICO STEROID), ER VISITS BECAUSE I STOP BREATHING, I CAN'T BREATHE PAST THE PAIN FROM A COVID BOOSTER REACTION, PACEMAKER, COVID ROUND 2-THIS TIME WITH MY MAMA ALSO, ANAPHYLACTIC REACTION FROM NEW MEDICATIONS, ER FOR TWISTING MY LEG SIDEWAYS, ELECTRICAL HEART FAILURE RESULTING IN NEW 3 LEAD PACEMAKER WITH DEFIBULATOR, ER VISIT REACTION TO COVID BOOSTER (SOFTBALL UNDER MY ARM AND ENLARGED SPLEEN)
I DO LOVE MY LIFE NOW THOUGH!!!

Please do not misunderstand; everything listed above has made me stronger. It’s made me a better poet and prose author. I have opened my inner critic and threw it away. I have become available to those who need my help. Those who know what I have been through and told me I AM A SURVIVOR! 
I’ve been though 25+ years of therapy and washed away my past.  Now “here comes the future… do do do do… here comes the future and I say, it’s all right” (rephrased lyric originally by the FABULOUS BEATLES!!!) Going back to school to be a English/History Tutor or Teacher. Going to physical therapy so I will have a spotter who is medically trained to help if needed. Working on publishing my second book.  It’s written and ready to process, just need to choose the publisher.  

So… Do I need a break??? HELL NO!!!
