Ever have one of those days when
everything went just right? It’s kinda
woo-woo, doncha find? Reminds me
of old Dr. Hook lyrics about how
when everything went right paranoia
tried to seep in. I’m not used to
having everything fall so perfectly
in place. It was better than I had hoped
and more than I could have imagined.
Everywhere I looked, things seemed
more beautiful than when I looked
before, and nice surprises appeared
like spring violets and forget-me-nots,
making me feel new again, and eager,
and just plain glad. To quote myself,
“Every now and then you get a moment
that makes all the rest of them worth it.”
It was one of those moments today.
All day. Maybe it’s the sunshine.
Maybe it’s just because. Or bunches
of them, like the ones outside the window,
all emerald and gold now and dancing.
All I know is that I am new again,
and amazed, and humbled, and glad.
