Day 14 of 29 still finds me suffering the flu.  I had to travel into the City for a Real Estate course this morning even tho it was the last thing I felt like doing.  While I was in there, I decided to go to a wonderful fruit and veg shop after the course was completed.  They have every type of fruit you can imagine and unbelievable quality too.  

I felt badly that I possibly passed on my flu to my Mother so I decided to buy her loads of fresh fruit and fill her full of vitamins!!   While in the shop, I noticed an elderly lady with a walker, having great difficulty getting around and selecting her produce.  She looked to be about my Mother's age and quite frail.  I asked her if she would allow me the honour of assisting her today and went on to explain that I would hope someone would do the same for my own Mother.   She thought this was a great idea and we had a lovely time, chatting and discussing the merits of the fruit. She was full of fun once she got her second wind and made the funniest comments about what we observed in the shop.   She allowed me to carry her bags to the car and to assist her with her walker getting stowed in the back.  Her husband had stayed in the car because he couldn't get around as easy as his wife, he told me!   Yikes!!!

While I was driving home, I was quite thankful that my only complaint was this miserable flu that won't let go.  I'm surviving on cold & flu meds that I don't normally take because I believe in letting it run its course.  However, at the moment I have to be out and about, looking as presentable as I can be with red, runny eyes, skin the colour of parchment and a cough that would scare a seal !    I am one fortunate lady if that's all that is wrong with me.  That elderly couple had me worried the whole way home, wondering how they were going to get all their fruit and veg into their house!

Anyways, it was a minor little thing to help someone with groceries but it was my gift for today.  Join me tomorrow and maybe I'll be strong enough to do something wonderful!!!
