Emergence
I'm back in the saddle, as it were, heading off for a short day of work, very much looking forward to focusing on other people as opposed to my personal list of symptoms and complaints. Oh yeah. It occurred to me yesterday that the final phase of any illness is boredom, which is what finally got me off my ass and out the door for a quick walk, in spite of the bitter cold made worse by my ill-tempered brother, the wind.
The walk was worth it, though, just for the sight of the pink/purple angel wing clouds floating above the sunset. Wow.
A flu like the one I battled this week takes awhile to recover from. I'm still feeling fragile, but experience has taught me that there's a point at which it's best to get back to the rhythms of life, even if I'm not quite yet up to snuff. That point follows directly on the heels of boredom.
I'm outta here. Shabbat Shalom, y'all.

boredom is a great motivator.
reya i'm glad you've found some equilibrium! the hovering wings and the hovering state of boredom becoming - i enjoy them both because they tell of change. steven
For me, walking is just the thing to make me feel better.
The flu has been brutal this year. Jilda has struggled with some kind of crud for weeks now.
Glad you're feeling better.
Pace yourself, dear one, and ease back into your routine gently.
Beautiful photo.
I'm glad you're feeling better! I still have a nagging cough which makes me wary of going out into the cold. However, boredom may win that battle! We have a good heater in the car :)
I'm so glad you are feeling better and were able to get out for a walk. :)

THanks to all. Home from work and feeling even better than this morning. Onwards and upwards!
Glad you're feeling better Missy. Hugs.
Happy emergence! Those clouds are glorious indeed.
It sucks to feel sick for more than 3 days. I'm glad to hear that you are up and about, and that the sight of pretty pink and orange clouds can lift your spirit. May you feel even better tomorrow.
You walk in the cold, we walk in the heat. Either way, it's a good path to recovery! Glad you are feeling better.
