Day 9

today

I remembered 
to breathe today,
drenched in the warmth
of the morning sun.
savored slow sips 
of earl grey, sweet with cream
feasted on hearty lentil soup
and buttery biscuits
worked a bit, tended to
my little dog, the cats, 
the bird, and the fish
joined our nation vicariously 
via tv to bid a final farewell
to a good man…a very good man
a life, lived well, inspiring 
honesty, integrity, and justice…
we need all those things
and more, these days
it was a full day 
it was a good day
I remembered to breathe

Today’s glimmer…actually succeeding at living intentionally….remembering to breathe. Peace and glimmers to you!
