just another tuesday

 

i sit on the bench at the dining room table. it flanks the back 

windows and the warm winter sun floods through them and 

warms my back. 

what is it about winter sunlight that holds 

an extra dose of grace?

i eat a late lunch there, basking. soaking up the rays.

slowing down to the point of dawdling,

just so i don't need to move.

leftover pizza. pomegranate seeds.

baby carrots. dark chocolate-covered pistachios.

sparkling water.

and my grocery list.

nothing special, really.

just another tuesday.

but a tuesday blanketed by sunshine

& walking in silver shoes.

a tuesday with food on the table.

a tuesday running hills and enjoying

three cups of coffee.

a tuesday soaking up history & soccer 

podcasts.

reading bits & pieces of books. 

and moving through three loads of the kids' laundry.

 

a tuesday picking up groceries and 

breathing deep and listening to music

i haven't heard in ages.

a tuesday for one of my favorite necklaces, and

a top knot crown, and unnecessary rings.

because why save them for a special day

when the ordinary ones

are just as good.

{and sometimes better.}
