When I'm 81...

Grey weather here, and chilly. A visit to the dentist for a sore and swollen gum got me thinking about what it is like to be getting older...more aches and pains...and how easy it is to be taken over by them. This then reminded me of a Buddhist teacher with a septic foot who, when asked how he was, replied, "My foot is painful, but I am well thank you"...
So I am thankful today for all of the difficulties I don't have and for a sense of wellbeing...

This is the sort of photograph I usually do not take, Probably I should be doing it on an abstract day but it happened when it happened. Not sure if I like it though...
