I don’t often dislike being the Canvas admin. This blog is made up of a group of wonderful, supportive authors who run things themselves pretty much entirely, and I rarely have to actually do anything truly as an admin.
When I do it usually is something I think over at length, and I never like having to interfere.
Today, I positively hate having to interfere.
Some time ago, our Summer Solstice Girl wrote and scheduled a post for this very morning. It’s a very emotive and engaging post, as SSG’s always are, and I really hope she still chooses to put it up it at a later date. But the last line, which she only just added, caused me to make the decision to put her post on hold:
“Update: I am actually sending this from the hospital.Don’t know how long will I be here.”
I make it my usual policy not to read posts from Canvas authors until they have been published unless I am specifically asked by the author to do so. But a number of things caused me to read through this one (the body of which has nothing directly to do with her hospitalization), and further to make the decision to postpone it. I really, really hope that SSG will forgive me for that. All that I will say here is it was done out of love.
Please confine all comments on this post to any well-wishes you may have for Summer Solstice Girl. I know you may be worried, but I can’t and won’t answer questions for her. And whether my choice was the right one or not is on me, so while I appreciate your thoughts, in this particular instance I have to keep this choice mine and mine alone.
With love,

Sending my best wishes. My thoughts are with SSG. Sending strength and love x
You are so very sweet. I think I’ve already seen you visiting her at Summer Solstice Musings, but in case I’m mistaken, she has written a couple of posts from the hospital on her blog.
Ah thank you. I thought I was subscribed to her blog but it seems that I am not so I haven’t seen a couple of posts.
Glad I could put you back in touch. 🙂
So sorry to hear. Wishing you a speedy recovery–feel better! Love you–it’s a tough time of year. ((hugs))
Laura, I think you’ve already been over to Summer Solstice Musings, but in case you haven’t, I’m posting responses to comments here as she has written a couple of pieces there. Actually, yeah, I know you have! 🙂
Right, Claudia is handling her own blog.
And doing a damned fine job of it!
Bless her 😀
I know. I mean, wow, right? ♥
My thoughts are with SSG..hoping for better days ahead.
Janet, thank you, she’s improving. Pretty sure I saw you over at Summer Solstice Musings, but I’m posting the link just in case as she has written an update. Thanks for always being such a support.
Ruby I am sure everything you do is from your heart. 🙂
Dani, thank you. You have the most enormous heart yourself, so that means a great deal to me coming from you. ♥
You are a very thoughtful person. I send my best wishes to SSG for improvement and recovery soon.
Anita, thank you, that means a lot to me. And I know SSG is grateful for all the love she is getting from everyone.
I can understand why that last line would cause you to think twice. I hope the author understands. Look forward to seeing her post when she is well again
She does understand, thank you so much, Cat. And she is making big improvements. You can read a couple of posts she’s written from the hospital on her personal blog, Summer Solstice Musings.
Yes, I have been following her blog, thanks.
I’m glad to know it, Cat.
Best wishes and healing thoughts to SSG. I hope to be able to read her post soon.
I have no doubt you will! And in case you haven’t seen it, she’s posted a couple of pieces on Summer Solstice Musings. Thank you for sending your support.
Thinking of you SSG. Am only commenting now, but read this some days ago … been thinking of you since.
Wishing the best for you!
You’re a good egg, and I’m sure you’ve since been to Summer Solstice Musings, but I’m posting the link here for everyone, as SSG has written a couple of pieces there updating. 🙂
Just catching up with everything. THANK YOU SO MUCH everybody for your support and love. It absolutely does make a difference. As for putting my post on hold, after reading it again today, I think it was the right decision (not that I minded before). You could see from my typos, grammar errors and broken thoughts that my brain was already starting to get overwhelmed when I originally wrote it. Tomorrow, then 🙂
Love!
I figured one way or another, you didn’t need that distraction just then.
And yep, lots of people love you — total lack of surprise — me, to name names!
You is very wise! 🙂
I have my moments every now and again. 😉
