Yesterday, while at Costco, doing errands, I saw them. Huge racks of orchids. They had been left to dry, and be bumped and bruised. There was one sad white Phalaenopsis orchid, I knew in an instant that it was mine. Picking it up on one hand, while I had wine, books and bread in my other hand, I checked out. Today the new orchid is recovering. On a table, surrounded by art that I have brought home from far away.
RECOVER:

The basic philosophy of recovery always makes me smile. It reminds us that tomorrow can always be "better"...
Love you.
Me
