Simple seconds

    Muted greens. Soft pastel pinks. Creamy whites.
Sparkling blues. Radiant coppers. Deep olives
asborbing the sun. No longer are browns, grays the
colors of the day.

   Brightness is everywhere. Open eyes and see
every place you look your eyes are amazed of the
beauty. The smallest pebble to the biggest tree,
each arrives with alarm.

   Soak into the warm of your day. Whether it be
indoors or a jaunt into the city. Either way savor
each second as though it is your last.

   A constant reminder to myself that this might be
my last, I give way to a prayer to Jehovah. Thanking
him ever so kindly for the sights I have seen just
for this beginning of day.

   Now progressing into a long day. Brief tangled
messes of interlocking work issues will not steal away
the joy I have from today. Ah yes even now my
jaw is sore. I have smiled so much, to anyone? No
just myself. Practicing perhaps. La no.

   Long day of fourteen hours. Ah please, if dear
friends and family intervened for a few moments the
day would seem less. So if out please stop in. Would
love to see faces.

   Mingling the patience I have learned with the
silence given, hopefully the day has no outbursts of
nastiness from anyone. Please pray with me, friends.

   Ah now moving in quickly because coldness is
seeping inside fleece jacket. Hmm. Just thinking of
reds and recalling a memory made. Hmm. Warmth
develops. Hmm. Yes very happy. Smirking.

   So my dear friend get outside just for a little while
with anyone. Make the most of the day and makes
sure to smile. Think of me.

   Softly I giggle. Hoping.
