Find The Light At The End Of The Tunnel

---

This old gal…

Woke up the day after the day after Thanksgiving and something was off…chalked it up to allergies but when it was time to head out for lunch…had to made a declaration…

I don’t feel good today…came the words…I just don’t think I can go anywhere…and sick me didn’t…for days…a week almost…

A week of headaches…coughs…not being able to breathe…

A week of rest…long naps…doing nothing…

A week of pampering…check ins from friends and family…a home cooked feast from a local BFF…

A week of gourmet Campbell’s soup meals…foot rubs…and movie marathons of the oldies but the goodies…

Got ansty…frustrated…thought if this is allergies and I feel this bad…we need to go further south…

But some things just take time…and finally…after antibiotics and seven days of being cooped up…it was time for a mini grand adventure…

Could only handle an hour or so…a jaunt through the local antique mall…and what to my wondering eyes should I see…

A light…at the end of the tunnel…a little blue light that glistens in the sun…saying it’s good to see you…so happy you’re feeling better…now take me home and get back on the couch…
​
And this old gal…agreed…
