Being under the weather, as I have been this week, helps me appreciate the details. I woke up thirsty this morning and have been enjoying sips of cold, clear water as I answer emails and read the paper. 

Having a comfy couch or chair on which to recline as I do these things … that’s another detail to enjoy. As are the rhododendrons that bloomed while I wasn’t looking.

It’s no secret that being restricted narrows the lens, helps us focus on what we still have.  I’m trying to let this flu bug do that for me.
