Busy, busy, busy...

Today I have a busy day ahead of me…

P.S. Gifford

First of all I shall busy myself feeding the birds-
Then busy myself further by sitting down in my garden,
armed with a large mug of steaming black coffee,
and watch them feast as I contemplate the glorious morning.

Then I shall take my beloved two dogs to the creek-
And let them run free amongst the overgrown pastures.
Gallivanting, bounding and frolicking about with joy.
And I shall sit under a favorite tree and busy myself reading.

Then I shall return home with my two closest companions.
And, relaxed and rejuvenated, sit in front of my computer-
and discover what interesting words I can conjure up today.
Perhaps a short story, anecdote or maybe even some prose.

For each day brings new treasures to behold-
Each day gives me new reasons to be grateful.
For each and every day is a simple/complex miracle.
And I shall busy myself in all the delights that it offers...
