Blue skies like a top hat sitting on the buildings.
Unexpected, potted plants in plastic garbage pails lined the street. My cousin Judy would say that is a sign of a frustrated gardener wanting a yard in a limited space.
The sun glowed on the building, intensifying the golden patine.
I walked along smiling and chatting up anyone with who I could strike up a conversation... today I tested myself to see if my asthma was at bay as it appeared to be... And it was!
Breathing is my new awareness. It seemed I could feel the air going all the way to the alveoli, or at least I imagined that. I thanked my entire body for the miracle it is for carrying me around, seeing, feeling, tasting, and being aware of how beautiful the gift of life is.
I was overjoyed, simply being on a random street in Marseille on a winter day.
Corey,
I am overjoyed with and for you!!!

Hmmm, doesn't look like winter as it is here. Looks more like Spring to me (lucky you!).
Corey, please be careful to pace yourself now that you're feeling better. You can guess how I know this.
