Today’s Gifts

I start my day with quiet time
before planning the tasks ahead
and now a mocha at a favorite shop.

Always have my camera, my journal,
my fountain pens and now-a-days
the needed reading glasses.

I write to start the day slowly
not rushing blindly forward or the
day cannot be lived to its fullest.

I write to find words that help
lead me one step at a time for
words that become today’s gifts.
