No presence here.
A stillness, when two people
share space. No children
romp, no dogs pant or shed.
Books stay stacked, dishes
washed, no messes or toys
clutter floors. You listen to quiet
that seeps under door jams.
Only a ticking measures
seconds gone by until another
hour reminds you to rise, move,
participate in the day. Yes,
you must participate in the day.

Life is Good
You’ve seen the t-shirts, hats, and bags. The company has made much money promoting their “simple message of optimism.”
I wish it were that easy. But I do find when I can focus on the good, I am more appreciative of what I have and who I am. David and I walked downtown this morning, carrying an umbrella in the ever-present dark clouds–waiting for yet another storm.
We met friends at Foode for a fabulous brunch. A hundred laughs later, we waddled out to the street, bright sunlight streaming everywhere. Yes! The cliche popped into my head: life is good.
