Must remember… I woke up pondering the day ahead as I lay morose in bed. The only theme that fit my mood was the “I suck song” from The Last Five Years, the Broadway musical, with the iconic line: “I suck I suck I suuuuuuuuuuck.” That’s what I’ll write about today, I thought, brooding. Then I dragged myself up. The temperature has dropped 35 degrees since yesterday, But the sun is brilliant, the air sharp and clear, The dogs keen to venture forth, as ever. One lap around the fields, throwing a stick for Kate Who returns, wobbly, but shaking her stick playfully just the same. A chickadee bustles My cheeks buzz with chill The frozen grass makes a satisfying crunch under my feet. My heart quickens, spirits lift, deep breath of winter. What a good day. Must remember. My 60th year in 60,000 words Day 107: 139 words, TOTAL = 17,656; 42,344 remaining |
