" Live each
season
as it passes;
breathe the air,
drink the drink,
taste the fruit, and
resign yourself
to the influences
of each. "
Henry David Thoreau
If you ever spent a night in jail
even years ago
I bet you understood today's
title immediately.
This morning, I left my apt
for the first time in, days,
many days - that's all I can
definitively say.
It was the first day I could
imagine seeing another person,
or having THEM see me!
I hid behind sunglasses, under a helmet,
wore my gloves, and rode my scooter
to the post office, my usual morning
WALK.
What a kick!
And, you know,
Waikiki REALLY is
beautiful!
Though I have a dynamite view,
and a lanai (balcony)
there is something WONDERFUL
about moving through space!
I'm back in bed, now
surrounded by mail,
coloring outside the lines and avoiding
house work. I want to go back out there
sometime!
I'm getting better.
How's Your Thing going?
Fondly, cloudia
=^..^=
Someday, when I'm a Super-Ager
(100+) I think I'll enjoy getting about
with my levitation scooter. . . .

Well that is certainly a provocative title - I'm glad you weren't actually in jail (just in the literal sense.) :) Glad you are feeling better and yes, I know exactly what you mean - seeing the wonderful world around you after being cooped up inside for a while.
I left the house Wed. to get 7 shots for pain in my shoulder, Detroit was not beautiful. I will admit the only time I have been in jail after crisscrossing the country a half dozen times was in Hamtramck. Google it) They could not put up with me long enough to hold me all night long. I guess the chanting got to them.
I'm so glad you're feeling better, Cloudia! Take it easy at first; but enjoy the emergent freedom!
Well, I so hope you get to feeling better soon! Cabin fever sets does set in, doesn't it?
Great blog, I'm happy I found it!

So sorry to hear you've not been well Cloudia but happy to hear you're feeling better. xx
Glad you were able to get out of the house. Hopefully the worst is over.
Release this prisoner! :-)
yay for some fresh air and interaction!
Would have been good to get out even if for a short time... Must admit I wouldn't mind a day of lying in bed reading, computering :) etc. but not the feeling sick part :) Chin up Cloudia, you'll be whizzing around again before long, I can't see much holding you down :)
its good you got out...the fresh air was probably good for you...henry just had a way of saying it too...smiles.

I see the Hawaiian birdies couldn't find a telephone line to sit on, so they lined up on a palm leaf.

You pals are the BEST! Thanks
Amazing colors. The sun makes a fantastic contrast.

Good news! Glad you are feeling better. Don't rush anything...and, no, I have never been in jail. There is still time :).
Everyone needs 5mts of freedom every now and again and after you have been sick a walk in the sunshine does wonders get well soon

So glad that you are getting better, and so grateful you continue to enrich our lives each day. Take care of yourself.
Woa - a levitation scooter? I want one of those. I know the feeling of finally going outside when one has been confined. We're like birds - can't stand being caged.
Glad you got out and are feeling a little better. Thanks for still treating us to such beauty via your pictures and quotes.
It is great to get out the house, hope you are back to full health soon!
Keep on healing!
fresh air agrees with you! so glad you are healing. sending you peace, joy and perfect health. xoxo
I'm so glad you're feeling better, Cloudia. I hope the fresh air and sunlight helps.
