For the past nine days, I’ve been determined to write posts, to throw something out into the world rather than simply receiving what the medical world was giving me.  Mission accomplished.

What’s true is that my recent posts have all been tinged with illness, or some other version of deficit.  I’ve been sitting in Izy Coffee this morning trying to turn this around … but no inspiration was coming.

Half an hour ago, I accepted that perhaps there’d be no post today.  Feeling obligated to write is no good reason to do so.

But then I looked out the window at the scene you see.  I needed to celebrate something rather than merely coping with life’s roller coaster.  And there they were …

Colours

The blue star on the white van

The green of the trees

The gold of the chair and the Izy logo

The red of the sign and the faraway fabric

The yellow of the pillars behind

The world blesses my eyes
