September begins

It's a good idea
for a poem
to rest awhile,
until ready.

__________________

Simple pleasures
bring me happiness.
A malt with whipped cream.
What a joy.

__________________

Calling a friend,
just being there,
simple acts of kindness.
Heavenly.

___________________

Each day
I have the chance
to be happy,
to enjoy the life
I chose.

____________________

Cooking with wine
is way more fun
than trying to
do it soberly.

____________________

When bad things happen,
they pass.
When amazing things happen,
they pass too.

_____________________

I don't believe
everything happens
for a reason.
Some things just are.

_____________________

When I can't figure
how something works,
I assume
it's simply magic.

_____________________

If you would be happy
for the rest of your life,
create a garden.

_____________________

You can't score
by kicking into
your own net.
Even children
know this
