Today is a good day.
As I was walking back from the gym, I concluded that today is a good day.
Firstly, because I've recovered enough from the lurgi to actually be able to do 20 mins swimming. (and although it's been a couple of weeks since my last swim, I notice that my breath control is improving on strokes like front crawl)
Secondly, and most important, there are daffodils. Bright, bouncy, breezy daffodils in all their glory. I do not believe that there is any flower that conveys a more simple joy than the daffodil. There are prettier flowers, more gorgously coloured flowers, there are flowers that bring quiet delight when found hiding on a grassy bank, but there are none that trumpet spring more loudly, none that bounce in a breeze with such brassy confidence, none that look more vivid on a spring morning.
As long as there are daffodils in the world, I have hope for the future.

Oooh, daffodils! I have some in the garden just coming up, but not open yet. In the meantime, I've been enjoying so much tree blossom around the place (my pear trees are almost there, too).
I was given a Japanese spring-themed (cherry blossom) gift last week. I love the importance that they give to the seasons.
