Something About One Thing (for Consuella)

 


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.
