Photo Friday: Shades of Gray
“Shades of Gray” seemed a perfect theme to capture my mixed emotions as I tentatively stooped to pick this shell from the wave-washed beach at Ponte Vedra last March. It was my first ‘walk’ in the sand after three months of recuperation from a broken fibula. I hadn’t yet begun physical therapy, and though I was thrilled to finally feel wet sand beneath my feet again, I was dismayed that it was so difficult and painful. I realized then, that though the worst was behind me, I still had a long way to go on the road to normalcy.
Still, few experiences can compare to an early morning walk amidst seagulls, on an otherwise deserted beach.
