Gimme A Break

It's been a shit few months. Hospitals, illnesses, procedures, sad death in Arcadia, heartbreaking violence in Paradise Valley, Napoleon-like doctors that aren't so Dynamite, grounded planes, coast-to-coast familial bad news, bad hips, knees, a broken gall bladder, poor memory, shot hearing and, in addition to everyone around me falling apart, my pinkie has hurt for weeks (something to do with four square and the monkey bars back in the day) and there's nothing I can do about anything. Nothing makes a difference, except maybe crawling into bed at 7:30 and hoping for a better day tomorrow. But, it's Spring. Regeneration. Pregnant (?) with possibilities. Time for a break. I can feel it. Bright stars in the sky. Orange blossoms...
