Today Is A Good Day. Pass It On.
Friday, July 25, 2008 I like this:
rust stains on some metal thingamajigger in an alley
and here are twenty-one other things I remembered that I like today:
sun,
fluffy clouds,
fat gophers that whistle at you,
bindles,
the scars on my stomach,
lime green,
crazy street people who think Canadian dollar coins are gold doubloons,
little boxes that are too small to hold much of anything,
tin foil,
handmade socks,
brothers-in-law,
pumpkins, both for their colour and the sound of the word,
the obsessive colliding of a donut and the name Warren in my head,
the word troglodyte,
handwritten letters in the mail,
rodeo clowns,
the smell of the inside of old, oak liquor barrels when you saw them in half,
dust on cats who are blinking into the sun,
that the Road Runner, the cartoon character, is such a bizarre interpretation of the real bird,
saying scads and feeling like I should be wearing red lipstick and a little hat in the 1940s,
and Five Star Friday.
And you?

Sometimes you are so like me it breaks my heart.
Oh, and it IS a good day.
Thanks for reminding me.
My friends. It is a good day.
Oh, yeah, and Fridays!
you are beautiful, I am adding that to my list. inside and out.
"Dutch heaven" clouds, dancing teenagers, a new favorite beer. Yeah. Passing it on.
that is lovely! I want to add to it - a beer on the front step with neighbours after a discouraging interlude at the grocery store... lovely people make me smile :)
ack! that wasn't supposed to post my whole name! oh well - so much for semi annonimitee
Did you say fat GOLFERS that whistle at you? (chuckle) I think it will be a good day too.
One of these reminded me of a favorite thing: I like when my cat is sitting in the window and she sees me coming home and she starts to meow at me - I can see her mouth moving - but I can't hear her.
All I can think of right now is:
I want a donut. Of course at 1am, in my pajamas & not a Dunkin Donuts anywhere close by, I am thinking that craving is a lost cause. But I still want a donut.
I've loved your writing for years, but have always felt inept.
I would gladly knit you a pair of socks.
