Crazy Stiff -Day 25

Today I think I’m

a crazy stiff to even

try to loosen up

these old bones and tight muscles,

but stiff or not, I persist.

Joy’s Foundation

Seven friends and I,

all over seventy, met

for joy and learned once

more the foundation of joy

is built with hearts’ connections.

Giving Thanks For Small Things

On the way to take

my granddaughter to college

with four other teens

and all her stuff, I give thanks

for a two hour

drive with all their devices,

knowing the drive back,

though touched with melancholy,

will be a short and quiet one.

If At First You Don’t Succeed

The lure of bird food

was too much for that squirrel.

He leapt for it and

missed. Again and again he

tried, then suddenly

gave his tail a haughty swish

 as if to say,”I

didn’t want it anyway.”

He might have seen this

behavior before in those

with two legs instead of four.

I May Be Slow But…

I finished up before midnight.

Exercise practice,

day twenty-one, is done,

but it’s easy to see

I’d have more energy

if said practice was done

before the setting of sun.

Finding Clarity

Driving to work on a hazy day,

I glanced out my side window

and saw, though overcast,

the day was clear – 

a reminder that what we see

depends on the the state of

the window we’re looking through.
