Day 4 I have a cold. My throat hurts and there are ulcers in my mouth. I am fighting. I take my vitamins and elderberry. I am not running fever, but I am tired and uncomfortable. I eat breakfast and read my devotional. It is difficult to concentrate. I lay on the edge of the …

I sat on the rock at the edge of the river as the sun was setting to listen to the falls. My intention was to read, perhaps write a bit. I had both my book and notebook in hand and a pen in my backpack. I opened my book. It remained unread. I couldn’t read, …
