Happy Remarks

What was on the wall that day.

My mother's lap, age four, after a fall. She did not tell me to stop crying. She held me until I stopped.

The moon was so close tonight I could see the seas.

The first time I made my own breakfast. Cereal and orange juice. I was six. I felt like a giant.

Saw a porpoise from the ferry.

Snow on the spruce, heavy and bright.

My husband stops the car so I can pet a strange dog.

Cracking an egg cleanly with one hand on the first try.

The first cup of coffee at the diner.

The checkout clerk noticed I was crying and gave me extra time without saying a word.

Summer camp, age eleven, my first time seeing the Milky Way. I had no idea the sky was that full.

The dog with the curly ears at the park.

A crow tried to share its breakfast with me today. I declined politely.
