A friend made a Facebook post today
which listed One Thing to Do Today
as an incentive to “get the ball” rolling
so to speak.
I took the first painful step out of bed
and maintained my balance with the
aid of a walker making my first trip to
the bathroom.
I must have taken my first breath of
the day shortly after midnight for I
was alive when I awoke opening my
eyes for the first time around 5 AM.
I won’t gross you out with the personal
details of my first visit to the bathroom,
but I managed to have held my first # one
of the day.
After drinking my morning prune
juice I’m looking forward to a # two.
Suffice it to say, when you manage
to survive making it to a ripe old
age, everything is a number’s game
to be played.
One more time for many an action
no matter the degree of difficulty
is a gift and a damned good thing,
I’d say.
