Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

I've been out of commision

this past week with the flu.
It's been quite a week and I'm now just starting to feel
a bit human again.

I'm on the mend but it will be awhile yet before I'll be back to
walking and blogging.
Everything I do is exhausting!!

The thing that comes to mind while I've been sick is how
thankful I am that I usually have such good health.
I know this will pass and I'll be back to normal again.
So many people have a chronic illness that they just have to learn to live with.

Oh and one good thing I've lost some weight.  😊

Count your blessings and may you have a happy 
and HEALTHY day.
Be back soon.

Sorry to hear that you have been ill and glad that you are now recovering. Flu can be really nasty. Don't try to do too much too soon.

You have been missed, dear Karen. I was hoping you were off having some fun. Sorry to learn that wasn't the case at all. I have heard that the flu is especially nasty this year. Do take good care of yourself and I will put in a prayer that you feel all better real soon. Hugs!

The flu has become an epidimic around here. We have had over 27 deaths from the flu. Im glad you are feeling better. They say the flu shots are not working with this strain of the flu.
Prayers for you.

I wondered what had happened! I'm so sorry you had the flu but I'm glad you are beginning to feel better. This year's flu strain is horrid, I hear. Take care and rest up.

I'm so sorry to hear that you've had the flu, Karen. That stuff can be rough. Do you think a bar of homemade soap would brighten your day? :)
