On a sombre note ...
Well, I guess today's one of my off-days ... I've been feeling blue from early this morning -- right from the moment, on my way to work on my 2-wheeler, that I saw this dog ... if that's what it was!
The poor creature had recently been run over by some heartless beast of a driver and three and a half legs were badly maimed and absolutely non-functional. In fact, "legs" is a term one would hesitate to use, in this particular case!
And yet ... the will to survive; the will to keep on moving was so strong, the poor creature "crabbed" (no other word will do) it's way along the extreme edge of the pavement-less street.
It heard me approaching from a long way away and I'll never forget the look in its eyes. Fear; apprehension; desperation ... all that and more was in the pleading look it gave me. As if to say, "Please don't hurt me anymore!" Tears welled up in my eyes as I slowed down and let it move along.
I don't know what happened as I couldn't bear to stop and watch any more. But, as I drove off, I hit a couple of pot-holes because my eyes were still all blurry. And I couldn't help thinking, "there, but for the Grace of God, (and some very good friends who helped me up when I was down) go I!"

No beginning yet...
Well... it appears as though things haven't changed much. Haven't plucked up the courage to begin anew... so what else is new!!
Health-wise, things are pretty much their dreary same. S, though, appears to be dwindling because of her mom's demise recently. Wish she'd realize that we all depend on her to hold us together. Without her, we'd all probably drift apart.
Ahh maudlin, thy name is me!!
More later...
