1/17: inside & out

I spent most of the day inside, and for most of that time I was cleaning. Today it felt really good to clean. In fact, it felt so good to tidy up that I didn't very much mind that the weather was gorgeous and I wasn't outside. I did go outside this morning, for a walk with Chris, and then again in the late afternoon, when he showed me some things he had come across in the woods. The woods smelled great: fresh and wet and with the goodness of growing things and dirt.

... my daughter finding a letter from her friend in the mailbox - a friend & classmate who has been admitted to the hospital again for check-ups as she has still not recovered from H1N1 in September - she was so happy after having read it she clung to me with tears in her eyes...

Hi, Meri--I hope your daughter's friend recovers soon--and I'm grateful for the reminder of the power of friendly contact, no matter one's age.
