a perfect day.
a funny perfect thing, this messy house.
it gave no stress.
and was filled
to the brim with
the left-behind touches
of those we love
in fact, the slight disarray
felt merry and warm;
as we had our morning coffee
and laughed about who said this
and who did that…
’round noon, we slurped some warm soup,
and late afternoon we sat with some tea,
all in the glow of our holiday chatter
i felt sad, in the end, to clean it all up.
the bright little bows and the crinkled up paper.
there were pieces of cookies, a discarded sock, and
all those burned out candles…
there was a washload of sheets, and
stuffing the pillows back into their cases
i dusted and swept
and yes, even wept,
as this perfect day
finally leapt to its end

| No man or woman is an island. To exist just for yourself is meaningless. You can achieve the most satisfaction when you feel related to some greater purpose in life, something greater than yourself.

| Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don’t wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it’s at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.
