things to be happy about today

• the way that the fading afternoon sunlight filters through my blinds from where i’m sitting
• the unperturbed stillness of the house on days like this, afternoons to wrap myself around and round in words, spoken and print
• the feeling of inspiration dancing in my head like sparklers, traveling down to my fingertips where they communicate what my lips can’t seem to find
• the warmth of being under my covers
• many things, if not everything
