There's no article this week from the Baha'i site at BellaOnline.com. I came down with some kind of flu last weekend and haven't eaten or slept very well since. My son got it, too, but not the rest of the family, so far. Neither my son nor I can take flu vaccine, so possibly my husband is correct in thinking he and the others safe...

I am better today, but not up for much. I'm not even reading email until today! let alone doing any kind of chores or social life. However, there are two holy day observances upcoming: May 23-Declaration of the Báb--and 29-Ascension of Bahá'u'lláh. Hope I don't have to miss out too much!

Here are articles about them:

Declaration of the Báb
This holy day marks the beginning of the Bahá'í Calendar, with the declaration of mission of the forerunner of Bahá'u'lláh, Prophet-Founder of the Bahá'í Faith.
