it is great to be alive.
to wake up and keep your eyes closed for an 3 extra minutes,
to take the summer sheet off your legs and leave it rumpled at the base of the bed.
to walk to the back door with a glass of water in your underwear,
just to survey the morning.
it is great to be strong.
to stand on both feet, set hip width apart in a stance of power.
to let the left leg give in to your weight and test out a sassier pose too.
to feel your knees, ankles, and feet
holding up your frame.
it is great to know who you are.
to have a pencil list of all your favorite things, with room for additions.
to be careful of your faults,
to have a purpose for each day,
knowing that the mistakes you make today can be fixed tomorrow.
