Dear GB,
I’ve always admired your gentle fortitude and calm ability to deal with life’s curveballs. I know you’ll still find a way to make your corner of the world grow beautifully even when you’re recuperating.
Everybody on this blog wishes you the speediest of recoveries. The blog is empty without you, and your usual flurry of posts, and I’m glad that you’re already on the lookout for the next kdrama for your Saturday rewatches and the next cdrama to keep you entertained while on the mend. These shows certainly make the convalescence period go by quicker, don’t they?

My very dear @pkml3, what a lovely message of affirmation! Thank you so much. My heart is full.
It’s thanks to your generous opening of threads for us, in a safe and happy environment, that drama-watching has taken on so much added enjoyment. I can no longer imagine just watching a drama and being totally quiet about it!!!
Yes indeed, I dread to think what convalescence would be like, if not for entertaining dramas to watch as the hours pass. I actually rewatched Healer on my own (for fun), and others like Kairos, in preparation for the Rewatch Parties. I took up Blossom (2024), When the Phone Rings and Love Your Enemy. Perhaps it’s because this is the season of goodwill, but all three shows struck me as being super romantic (maybe more from the ladies’ point of view) since each had the MLs hopelessly in love with their FLs.
For a change of mood, I’ve taken up cdrama, Under the Skin 2. It’s a bit fantastical this season, but retains some of the great vibes of Season 1 and the great bromance of the main leads. Best of all it includes loads of artwork in different media.
And although I’m not sure my Rewatch companions will be able to stream the cdrama Love in Time, I will probably rewatch it to recall what it was about it that caught my fancy. I liked the concept of inadvertently sharing an apartment with a stranger, at a certain time each day, that freaked both the tenants out.
As I slowly ‘get back into gear’ and feel less tired, I’ll certainly be by often to post my endless thoughts. Thank you for being so accommodating.
Thanks to all as well who silently or otherwise sent me good wishes and prayed for me. I’ve always felt buoyed up on the wings of prayer, and never alone. God bless you all!
My comment seems to have disappeared. Not to worry, I’m sure it’ll turn up like the proverbial bad penny LOL.
@GB Unnie,
It is good to read that you are back at home and you are trying to come back to the mundane parts of every day life. I wish you the best and take it slowly…
Even though, I am not that active as I used to. I am thinking of you always..
Hugs and kisses… ❤️✨🙏
Found the lost penny, @GB. 😂😂It’s up now.
@GB…happy that your convalescence includes the wonderful healing gift of Kdrama viewing. Keep getting better…eat well, follow the doctor’s orders!
Merry Christmas to all BOD…a truly beautiful season of good will.
@Growing Beautifully, prayers and best wishes for your recovery. 🙏🙏🙏
@GB, I want to think that maybe the bad penny has some good sides. If someone can find them I am sure it is you 😀
@GrowingBeautifully, I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers that you will make a full recovery with no complications. Take care!
My dear Doensaeng @Cleo, thank you for your sweet message. I’ve found it a relief to be not as busy and to let a lot go, so yes, do that and enjoy the rest and relaxation more. I’m keeping you in thought and prayer too!
Hi @Lootie Lyn, thanks for your good wishes! Have a great Christmas and lots of time for watching dramas!! 🙂
@Fern, thank you specially for your prayers and good wishes. I believe the recovery is going well. We’ll pray for each other! Have a blessed Christmas!
@FGB, you’re so sweet. Your wisdom and inspiring messages are a treasure! You’re a pretty great ‘penny’ yourself!
Thank you @Table! I really appreciate your prayers. Such a solid, good wish, to recover without any complications … yes please! I’ll keep you in prayer too!
@GB, Big hugs to you and many blessings for your road to recovery. May the dramas be a comfort for you this season and a good intellectual workout too. Sometimes analysis of a scene or digging into histories of some makes me learn a lot.
I loved “Love in Time” and cried a lot. It is one of the few Cdramas that made me cry so much and it was so memorable because there wasn’t much plot holes to poke at, considering it’s a time travel drama.
Enjoyed rewatching LBFAD with you then! This season has been busy for me and I am unable to spend more than just watching dramas. Currently stuck in Blossom. Too loving it and I haven’t even finished the drama!
Thank you Unnie!
I find that 2024 was a year that many things have happened to a lot of us. I do hope that 2025 will be a better year, with more peace to the world. 💗
Dear @GB,
I wasn’t aware ? How will I be, it’s not like we’re neighbours or have common acquaintances… As soon as I opened this thread, I was like… How come I didn’t know? As it happens with people you know in real life… Then it occurred to me that with my friends in BOD, i wouldn’t know unless I go to the blog and find a post. Such is life. 😞
Get well soon cara. All my love and best wishes for speediest of recoveries.
Thank you dear @Arihsi. No worries. I don’t know what’s going on with many friends too. Some choose to not share and some do so in a restricted way. Until now I do not tell those whom I know might want to come to visit. I prefer peace and quiet as I rehabilitate slowly.
Doctors have said that it will take a long time. Partly that’s because there’s more than 1 thing wrong with my leg and because it’s a ‘leg’ which means that I will need to stand/walk/climb on it and stress it now and then. I liked how the doctor looked at the swelling and said, ‘Yes, but of course there’s swelling.’ And then ignored it LOL.
I’m extremely thankful it’s not my brain or my hand, which means that I can still think up my goofy thoughts and type them up here! Heh!
@GB, praying for your speedy recovery. I hope you had a good Christmas season despite your restrictions. Hope that 2025 will be gentler and kinder and brimming with better health for all of us. Cheers!
Many thanks @Janey! I fancy I’ll have a sometimes up and sometimes down recovery, as speedy as that may be. Sometimes my poor left leg aches as well, and I need to take a break.
Yes, I had a lovely, quiet Christmas and ditto to your hope for 2025. May your year be filled with warmth and peace.
