Rosehearty harbour, pretty with pink thrift growing in the foreground.
So, I’m out.
In the car.
Whizzing through the countryside.
Seeing things that are not my garden, not my house: ripening crops, winding roads, people, tractors, dogs…
I’ve moved on from the small blue ball I was before. In my excitement to be out, I overestimate the level of moving on that has occurred. Going into a shop turns out to be a mistake that leads to pain and shaking and a slow hobbling retreat.
But sitting by Rosehearty harbour, on a bench, in the sun, is perfect.
It’s progress, and it’s good.

Glad you’re able to get out and about a bit!
It’s a wee start 🙂
Take great care of yourself, my lovely.
Thank you Hemmie 🙂
We applaud any progress, however small or limited.
Yes, it all counts 🙂
Beautiful pictures. Nice that you could get out even if just for a bit.
It really was nice, thank you 🙂
What a nice name “Rosehearty”. Good for you that you could venture out a bit at least!
It was good 🙂
Happy that you are out again – thrift is one of my favourites.
Such a pretty flower.
Congrats on getting out AND recognizing, “oops…maybe a bit much, too soon….” Hoping you didn’t set yourself back overdoing to GET back home! and well – holding in my heart that this is a ‘small trip’ that exercised some recovery parts, but doesn’t bust ya back to ‘starting over’ on the ‘getting better’ front! <3
Oh, yea…um.. P.S. The pictures are lovely! Sorry, I got all caught up in the ‘okay – well – good for you – but don’t set yourself back! Ease….back…into it! Take care of you!’ shows of support – – sigh – – no one should let me post comments wthout moderating them first – — 😀
Your comments are great, no worries. Happily I didn’t experience any set backs, healing continues 🙂
Beautiful pictures. This reminds me of the small fishing village of Kilmore Quay in Ireland. It is 3 kilometers away from were my family lives.
Sounds lovely.
