How is it already Friday.

I woke up smiling today and yet there are piles of things around me, some stacked quite high - things  for me to worry about. But truly today, while sitting atop them, I am rather enjoying the view instead. And even when I measure all of the stresses and things that need to get done or worked out, there are far many more things to be happy about. Joyful, even.

don't you hear it? she asked & I shook my head no 

& then she started to dance & suddenly there was music everywhere 

& it went on for a very long time 

& when I finally found words

all I could say was 

thank you.

[Happy almost birthday Mr. D. Thanks for the lyrics.]
