While completing an isolation,

I went for another walk today and my charming wife had asked "how was your walk?"

My reply ,

 I saw a deflated helium balloon laying on the sidewalk, the helium was gone but there was still enough air to show a deflated balloon shape. It had a ribbon tied to it and another popped pink balloon  that weighted it down, the balloon swayed to and fro in the wind that was blown up from the choppy harbor. The balloon couldn’t go where it wanted it was just at the mercy of the wind. I stood an watched it for awhile thinking about my situation. I felt as deflated , couldn’t soar where I wanted , just at the mercy of the health care system.

As I continued to watch the ragged red balloon it inches out in traffic and was hit by a car! I thought to myself at that moment, holy shit I had better get back to the safety of my humble abode.  I did pick up the remains of the once joyous balloon and placed its floppy carcass into a trash receptacle. A small tear of sorrow formed in the corner of my eye.... actually this was caused by the wind as well
.

Yes the walk was exhilarating! 

Thanks for asking !
