pleased that i told work i wanted to come in at 5 today, instead of 3. i enjoyed the gorgeous puffy cloud blue sky day, doing small things around the house. mowing, and plopping the mulch in the vegetable garden! reading and thinking.

a small pleasure
sitting here reading Ours by Phillip B. Williams, and hear coyotes yipping in the not-too far away distance

remarkable
while driving to work, i am thinking how i have lost myself as a person, lost touch with my center. how i am not able to get things done. i go to work, yes, but is that all? where is my joy and creativity? reading, yes. visiting a brewery. the vegetable garden. but there is a hollowness that i cannot climb out of, that i want very much to heal.
and then, a wild thing happened when i got to work. a surprising thing. i found myself in a fantastic mood, filled with happiness and jokes and some giddy joy i was pleased to share with those i encountered. one of whom was poet Michele E. i had just started reading her new collection Purl this morning, and brought it with me to read if i had a chance. she signed it for me, with a personal note. i vibrated with excitement.
when pulling into the driveway coming home from work, there was a possum! i stopped so she could do her thing, telling her how lovely she is. Greylin was also peeking up out of the culvert by the mailbox, LOL cute, silly boy. i told him to come on up and get his dinner.
