Another Day
- • to find the Florida birds so close to home ... the red cardinal in the palm tree ... the blue heron in the reeds, a statue watching the alligator pass by ... the whistling ducks like soldiers waiting for more troops to arrive, a diving cormorant.
- • to savor the tasty morsels navigating twisty passages of a healing colon
- • to find and place jigsaw pieces in difficult and familiar puzzles
- • to laugh and delight in voices and hugs just when they are needed
- • to be scared of the pains and discomforts of aging and illness
- • to read and listen to the wisdom and the nonsense of humanity
- • to go up and down like ocean swells
- • to be silly, to celebrate, to bring joy
- • to select outfits and jewelry
- • to remember birthdays and worry and cheer about the little things
- • to feel breezes and raindrops
- • to solve crossword puzzles and lift weights.
- • to decorate a room, a gift, a smile
- • to see the moon in the night sky and the sun’s morning rise.
These, these are your days, witnessed!
love, love, love, Awie xo
