Something to Say about Today


Today...I could begin today like so many others.
I shall again brew coffee and make my bed today.
I may bring to life thoughts of mine with what
I say as I have in days past. Today...Shall I fall

back and reflect on the past or move forward
with my words and deeds? I am of an age and
in such a place where no matter what I choose
to say or do, nothing will affect the size and

shape of the world at large. I can advance or delay
today. There are things of little or no consequence
for me and for you I could do. I am open to scrutiny
and review. It’s true that many physical and emotional

activities available to me have become more limited
by virtue of disposition, age and conditioning. Today...
For this I can either be discouraged, ambivalent or
give praise. In any case, the rising sun today has forced

me into making a decision with each and every move I
take. Stand upright, sit, stumble or crawl, bite off more
than I can chew, or mull over the wisdom of doing
absolutely nothing at all. Whatever I choose to do, I

shall try to restrain any ambitious endeavor from taking
control over my day. For a moment, I considered going
to the Walgreen's and getting a flu shot today, but more
wisely decided to pet the waggilly-tailed puppy looking

up at me so loyaly instead.
