Hoping for Brighter Days

I am recuperating from one of those flu virus that leaves you with absolutely nothing in your system, clinging to the mattress and praying for death to come quickly. And I'm sure there is a more clever, and funnier way to say that . . . but I just don't have the energy to find it, so this pedestrian version will have to do.

Anyway, I'm left with a bad case of the post-flu blues that not even the lovely spring weather seems able to penetrate. I'm pretty sure at some point food will look appealing again and I'll have the energy to walk farther than a block and a half without wanting to rest . . . but not today.

So I leave you with these beautiful spring blooms, and hope you all are feeling better than I am.
