There’s been nothing particularly wrong with this day.

It’s just that the clouds and the cold and the rain have made my mood a bit overcast.

I sent out a distress signal:

Mayday!  Mayday!

Send sunshine!  Send some color into this gray world!

Coming home tonight, I see it on my porch.  My rescuer has come.

A pop of pink and two tulips on my weatherbeaten chair.

My weatherbeaten spirit is lifted.

Thank you to whoever heard my distress call!

May Day!  May Day!
