Just a day, just an ordinary day

a day where I showered

immediately after I woke up

~~~~~

a day where I picked out

my favorite outfit to wear to sculpting class

~~~~~

a day where I pushed

myself to use the 10 lb weights

and still didn't sweat

~~~~~

a day where with a quick stop at the grocery store

I made a perfect salad from the salad bar

that was mostly garbanzo beans and hard boiled eggs

~~~~~

a day where I opened all the windows

to let the air swish around

~~~~~

a day where I made dinner, in the late morning,

for us and some neighbors

~~~~~

a day where I still couldn't touch raw hamburger

with my bare hands

~~~~~

a day where my kitchen had so many dishes to wash

but with the sun shining, it didn't matter

~~~~~

a day where I put my bird wings

in Borax to preserve them

~~~~~
a day where it was too beautiful to stay inside

any longer

~~~~~

a day where I had to run to the vet's office

for a new summer dose

of preventative flea/tick medication

~~~~~

a day where I took Sophie

to the neighborhood dog park

and we took our time

walking and seeing

~~~~~

a day where I savored every bite

of my salad bar salad

drenched in blue cheese dressing

~~~~~

a day when the weather forces you to

wear bare toes with your jeans
~~~~~
a day where I sat outside reading

my book in the afternoon sun,

while the barn swallows let me know

they didn't like me

~~~~~

a day where I listened to music

instead of the televison

~~~~~

a day where the kids made me laugh

with their adult sense of humor

~~~~~

a day where I delivered dinner

to our neighbors

and they were thankful

~~~~~

a day where my hubby

told me I was cute

and then he nibbled on my ear

~~~~~

a day where our dinner tasted

extra yummy and seconds were needed

~~~~~

a day where I was exhausted

by 8pm

~~~~~

a day....an ordinary day

and for that

I'm so very thankful
