Day 3

January 3, 2021

A different kind of day

This photo was taken a year ago today.  Does anyone recognize the creation?  I have no idea who built it.  I kind of recognize the pathway, but I can't tell you the address.  But it could have been done today.  At 11 this morning I left the house to go visit a friend.  5 steps out and I slipped on ice and fell on my shoulder.   Then as I tried to get up again my right foot slipped into a split and I landed on my left knee.  I gained my composure, crawled up to where it looked more like snow than ice and stood up slowly making sure I was ok and would not slip again.  Needless to say I have not left the house since.  I bruised my left knee, but other than that, I am not hurt.  It did shake me up.   Later, a good friend came and salted the path from the house to the car.  She also brought me 2 oranges and a banana which will save me.  

My camera was around my neck and completely protected by my body.  It was not hurt at all.  But I also didn't get to go outside and shoot the rookery, nor anything else.  Instead I watched reruns and tried to ignore whatever I was about to feel both physically and emotionally.  

I still wanted to write something though.  I still would like to shout out to my world that life is ok.  But I'm not sure I have anything wise to say.  Instead I will  post my 12 best pics of 2020.  Tomorrow I will be back on game and can continue to ruminate about the good, the difficult, and the weary.
