windows

as i was

"deep cleaning" my kitchen this morning

and not really "singing" about it,

i looked up

and this was my view

out my kitchen window

it may not look like much

through the screen

but it made me and aware

of the beauty

around me

and i am thankful

"one of the most tragic things i know about human nature

is that all of us tend to put off living.

we are all dreaming of some magical rose garden

over the horizon

instead of enjoying the roses blooming

outside our windows

today."
