What was on the wall that day.
Cool side of the pillow.
The river at sunrise. Steam coming off.
My son told me my hair looked nice today. He is nineteen.
Whoever invented the bathtub. Whoever invented hot water. Whoever invented soap. All of you.
My wife sits next to me at the doctor and holds my hand and asks questions for me.
Watching steam rise from a fresh cup.
Bird at the feeder I haven't seen before.
The man at the deli puts the extra pickle in even though I don't ask. I see him do it. He sees me see.
Grateful for the way the dog stretches when she wakes up. She's been here twelve years. She still stretches like a puppy.
New hand soap in the bathroom.
My mom still calls to check the weather where I live.
I have a body that survived. Some bodies don't. I'm trying to thank mine more often.
