April Listic
- The sun rose, pulling a curtain with it and everything filled with light
- The dog woke up so happy she wiggled her way across the bed on her back to bounce down and go find her sister
- The feral seven-toed cat was waiting for me and his breakfast – he now waits for me most mornings
- A woodpecker is hopping down the deck rail, waiting for seed dispensation
- I got breakfast and coffee and had choices both ways
- The dog is still happy
- The tuxedo pixie panther who is my indoor-outdoor cat loves the sun on the deck.
- I bring him in after a good long stretch and loll
- Because I am the keeper of doors, the dogs decide to go out
- And then to come back in
- I still have coffee
- I sip my coffee from a mug that feels good in my hands.
- It is very large and decorated with ravens
- I text-chat with a friend about how to find the good news and filter out what doesn’t need to be seen right now
- I eat cereal from a blue bowl that is cool and rounded and keeps the milk cold
- My phone tells me I engaged with it less last week
- I am not sure if it thinks this is a good thing, but I do
- I write another 250 words in a story that I didn’t know was there
- A redbud hums in pink, a wispy cloud floats by, a bird sings
- Sunday morning blooms
