I'm finding joy today in the little things
That delight and sustain me
The quiet excitement of finding a book on the library shelf
By one of my favorite authors
That I haven't read before
Or at least don't remember reading
It's all the same to me
The subtle exhilaration of a steady breeze
That's cool but not too chilly
Fresh and focused on blowing away the winter storms
And welcoming the shining spring sun
A glimpse above the buildings of solid black hills
Against a backdrop of light gray skies spotted
With feathery white clouds
And sporadic bursts of clear blue sky
All reminders that I live in one of the most beautiful places
And I have a beautiful life
