Blue 62.....

Yesterday was an absolutely beautiful spring day in Port Washington....and an actual "social" day for us! In the morning we walked to our downtown park to meet friends and share a cup of coffee outside in the morning sunshine. Just sitting (not too close) and talking face to face was a mood booster. Then in the afternoon we drove down to visit our friends at "Camp Glendale". They are the special people who take care of Mr. Fenway when we travel without him. We sat on their outdoor patio and played a  game of Farkle at a distance while the dogs ran and played and rolled in the grass. Conversations in person twice in one day. And finally I met two neighbors outside at 5:00 with a glass of wine and a sit-on-bike-path-bench visit. It was short because the wind picked up....but it was nice. Three socializations in one day.

And then I woke up this morning and felt blue. It was early so I tiptoed out to the kitchen and made my coffee. The sun was shining and the sky is blue and the trees are turning green. Two beautiful days in a row. But my mood is low again.

Fenway arrived down the hallway and out we went for his first important morning walk. Warmer than I expected I was overdressed in my fall coat and a hat....but off we went toward the bike path. As soon as we hit the sidewalk I heard the bird call and spotted the flying daffodil in a small tree at the end of the bike path. Smile!

We turned north on the path and today Fenway wanted to keep going so off we went. Just past our condo building I heard a cardinal. There she was, just off the path, looking at me. She cocked her head several times as I went by, but didn't fly off. Smile!

Fat robins jumped along in the grass. I could hear the gulls calling from over the lake. A slight breeze ruffled through the trees as I followed Fenway's scissoring walk along the way. Three deer appeared ahead of me, spotted us and walked down the hill toward the stream. Smile!

And as Fenway decided he was done and ready for breakfast we turned back to home. Blooming along side was a lovely bunch of marsh marigold. Smile!

So I don't know if day 62 will be blue.....maybe the glimpses of yellow will change my mood. And if not then maybe day 63 will be better.

   One day at a time.
