Taking Inventory
No earthquakes here today or brush fires.
Cricket in the fireplace didn’t keep me up.
Bread on the counter seems still fresh.
No friend called with a cancer diagnosis.
Kids got home ok after partying.
Mom feels good and laughed with friends.
Guess I’ll get off the couch and stretch the tightness from my back.
