Black & White Sunday: Squeeze (response to guest challenge)
Some break under the pressure, but some keep standing.
NOTICE: After this post I will take a break to try to recover from my injury. It is making my life really hard now as I move with difficulty and can only manage to be driven to the office. Using laptop in my free time is hampering the recovery so I have to give it a rest. I will be back, once I have recovered, with all the scheduled posts and guest hosting.
P.S. I will look at your entries for this challenge and link to your posts before I sign off.

Paula I have been a little “squeezed” myself the last two weeks so I understand the need to take time off and heal. I did not have choice going in but none the less I do going forward. Be well and breathing ever day for it is a blessing.
Peace~ John

Oh my dear friend, I’m so sorry things are bad. I hope the time out helps the healing and that you’re back in action soon. I’ll think of you with caring every time I drive past my beach, or walk along it. Your image expresses something of your state of mind I think, and as always it is beautifully conceived and photographed. You manage to make a squashed coke can elegant and eloquent.

Paula, I’m sorry to learn that your injury hasn’t been healing as fast and painless as you had imagined.

Thanks Lucile, and thank you for looking at my response. About my health, it is not about getting well at a slower pace or with pains.. the fact is that the injury is of unknown origin, that I don’t have a diagnosis yet in spite of paying for a private consultation with a specialist, and that my condition has aggravated significantly in the last week.

You’re most welcome, Paula.
I’m even more sorry to hear that. I do wish you well and hope you will find the source of this injury as soon as possible. I know how stressful this can be.
Keep strong and all my best wishes.

Your photo is perfect – original, clever and wit! I get the feeling that looking at it longer and closer, could almost notice the movement of the very squeeze. And I love your choice of music, of course… Hugs, Ese
