I Wish I Could Ride a Turtle

Somedays

are pretty painless.

Today

I slept until I woke on my own

made myself an excellent brunch

studied for an effectively tolerable two hours

went to Susan's house for supper

watched home videos with her amazing kids

had a special SarahMeagan night

talked to Andrew

and put my hair into what is possibly the best pony tail I've ever done.

And now I'm too content to sleep

because of the satisfaction of embracing the facts

that I am blessed

and that today

I did not spend a moment

wishing my time through to something else.
