Resilience

Fresh and colorful this little guy was waving at me. After days of frost and endless rain. Pretty tiny and low to the ground, so I wonder how long I still be able to get this kind of shots. The knees, the back etc don’t make it easy to bend down and to get up. Gosh, today I feel so tired of all the breaking parts of my body. I know , I am whining ,on a high level‘ , i. e. there are millions of people who are worse off than I, but sometimes it depresses me to feel how much strength is needed just to go through a day, let alone unpleasant things in the future. There are just too little pleasant things in my days anymore to distract me. Not even wine ….(that is of course my own decision)
On the other hand, I am very grateful for all the spare parts one can get these days.
These are thoughts on a very dark January morning. It is that time of the year. Sun up at 7.35 but not like a shining golden ball. Rather a very slow grayish getting lighter of the sky.
