I'll be back soon

Hey Second Helpings readers,

I had promised to be back today and I planned to have lots of updates - but then a scary family health emergency suddenly changed things.

It's been the kind of day where you hope for the best as you struggle with cold fear and try not to show it, while somehow managing to adopt the strongest, most positive attitude you can have for someone you love dearly.

I'm exhausted and my stomach is in knots. I think about the only thing I can think about eating right now is something comforting....like chocolate pudding. I don't even care that it's sugar-free chocolate fudge.

I hope to be back to regular blogging later in the week. Please keep checking back. I haven't abandoned you - just need to direct my attention somewhere else for a couple of days.
