Patiently Waiting

It is now the second week of being down with the flu virus.  I tried the last couple of days to get back into a normal routine, but feeling exhausted by the end of the day.  Last evening my husband and I went to the university track.  The three flights of stairs to the  track left me winded and wondering if I was ever going to be able to walk.  After resting against the wall for a few minutes to catch my breathe, I thought  about taking a piggy back ride on my husband's back. Ha!Ha!  I don't think he liked that idea.  Instead we walked side by side leisurely for about two miles.  I felt like I was in physical rehab.  I have to admit it felt good to get some exercise.  Small steps lead to big achievements with love and determination.

The weather is up and down.  We went from 60 degrees Sunday to a low 30's.  This morning there is once again a dusting of snow on the ground, but we have sunshine.  I did notice that there are daylilies  and iris starting to peak through the ground.  We had a lot of wind and rain on Monday, typical March weather.  Spring is on its way and I am hoping the wind blows the cold winter air out of here.

Waiting patiently for some nice days to walk outside.  My husband has reminded me that we are now ten weeks out from our 10k walk.  I don't want to rush the days away, but I am definitely longing for those beautiful days of summer.  For now, Laney and I will rest and view the sunshine from the warm indoors.  Life is beautiful !!
