It’s the simple sounds and sites that create the promise of the day. Makes me feel hopeful, lifts my spirit, gives me hope.

Early morning light creeping in through the curtains, blue-great.

Wall heater crackles and pops, pouring warm, taking the chill off the house.

Song birds sing from the trees,

Bathroom fan swirls, gentle white noise down the hall.

My son’s sometimes visit to my room, weekend slumber, head just visible from under covers, snores quietly.

And so my list for the day, hope for the day, seems fresh, new, possible. Feeling peace and rested and maybe it will be a good day.

Let’s make it so. Let’s make it GOOD.
