Today began cloudy, though not too cold. The day's activities, including making up for some of the workout time I didn't get while caring for Patton, precluded spending much time out of doors. But it didn't keep me from looking. Through the clouds, the faintest rays of sun touched Jump-Off Joe, making it glow early this morning. The effect was so lovely, so subtle, I knew I had no chance of capturing it with my camera lens. So I chose to simply enjoy the play of light, while it lasted.
Later in the day, a brisk breeze brought in sunshine, then more clouds. The river was whipped up into whitecaps, and all the birds that had been quietly sheltering in the lee of Foundation Island either flew off or found better shelter - probably on one of the many ponds or sloughs in the vicinity.
And some good news today. Though I still have a long way to go toward healing, slow progress is indeed being made. Some days, the inside of the PT clinic is the most beautiful place I spend time - because each visit gets me a step closer to healing, to improved walking, to being able to pick up again those things I love so much (hiking, flower photography, rock hounding, kayaking, etc.)
