Last night, tired and worn from a busy day at work
wearily making my way through the dishes
I am stricken with a horrendous case
of the hiccups
bothersome and burgeoning on slightly painful, I am providing comic relief to the rest of the house as yawning,
while hiccupping creates the most raucous squawks and croaks
and my voice is now rather froggy
hardly headline news, I know
my night is made slightly less bothersome by a lovely
chat with my cousin
offering
kindness
and this I appreciate
as I finally surrender to my bed, with a smile
and a hiccup
somehow, I gratefully drift off
to sleep
This morning, my throat and chest still feel
a little traumatized
through my window the day appears
a bit dull and greyish
on the outside
but inside
I am filled
with
my own
light
and so today I think I’ll do something nice,
It feels like just that kind of day
first I’ll kiss my husband
(the nicest thing of all)
and tell him just how much I love him
before he goes
I’ll pour myself a coffee
and sit
quietly with my book
then I may send a little note to someone
I am guessing might need it
after that,
I think I’ll head to the kitchen
and master up something wonderful
chocolaty, comforting and
warm
to fill the house with delicious-ness
I’ll put on some music
sing and sway as I move around the kitchen
with a lightness and my own kind of
grace
I’ll touch base with a few friends
catch up with some writers
and send out some good thoughts
for those who may need to know
that someone is in their
corner
(psst.. I’m here, and I like this corner!)
I’m going to think about
forgiveness
courage
kindness
and peace
and too, all the simple things
that to me wholly
encompass
Love
Outside raindrops may be pelting my window
but inside
today
I am making
my own
sunshine
and now, that you’ve arrived Mr. Blue
I think it’s time
for tea ♥
