What was on the wall that day.
My daughter calls me from college just to read me her favorite passage.
Found a twenty in a coat pocket I haven't worn since spring. Spring me is generous.
Folding warm towels straight from the dryer.
My grandmother taught me everything about love by loving my grandfather for sixty-eight years.
My grandfather kept his marriage license in his wallet his whole life. We found it at the funeral. Folded soft.
My daughter calls me when she's happy. Not just when she needs me.
I'm grateful for the choir director who said, sing out, don't apologize.
The crisp edge of a grilled cheese.
My wife knows when I need to be alone before I do.
First peony bloom. Whole month's worth of fragrance in one bloom.
My sourdough starter is bubbling. It is happy. I am happy.
The diner across from the bus station. Booths the color of mustard. My grandmother always ordered toast and tea.
