I know a few people who now have chronic fatigue after their bouts of Covid and they would certainly understand your need to lighten your daily load in whatever way you can. I also know two who have fully recovered and their 'foggy' days have past. So there is hope. May the freshness of spring help to heal you Whitney.

Thank you for sharing your walk. Those tiny pink and white lanterns are like little spring fairy lights. Thank you for sharing them. too!

Thank you so much, Sandy. Though my chronic fatigue began long before I had Covid, I very much hold onto hope it will one day ease up a little, especially as I continue to take things slow and simply as best I can. I appreciate your kind words and encouragement so much. 🥰🤍

Beautiful photos and lovely walk Whitney. I am hoping to take one tomorrow. I find walking helps my chronic fatigue and fibro pain at times. I hope you do too! Nature is a heal all.

I hope you have a lovely walk, Pamela. Nature indeed is so very important. My fatigue is often worse afterward, but it helps in so many other ways, to be out and walking. I'm happy you enjoyed this wander. Thank you. 🥰🤍

Beautiful photos, Whitney. Those small white blossoms in the final series of images are really nice. They definitely made do with the little light they do have. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Neil! The white ones are probably my favourite captures from this wander, I'm glad you liked them as well.
