delicious

after a bit of a rough night
it would have been lovely to sleep in today,
but i had a student coming
so I readied the kitchen, he came
and we worked hard together
sweet little guy
he sure earns those jelly beans!

the rest of the day was spent wrestling
with relentless spasms through my torso

so much time spent in bed again
exhausted and weary from the poor night
and the attack from within

but then!

in trying to rescue my dear mama from hosting a large dinner
i volunteered and the patio party and feasting that ensued
was delicious and delightful
and my body settled down so i could be fully present

family
friends
fellowship

so comfortable, so many conversations
gentle laughter, soft summer warmth
canine comedy, plenty to eat

















God was in our midst
so gentle and so good

and tonight when i eagerly pondered going to bed
i wrapped myself in the very delicious knowledge
that tomorrow morning was mine for sleeping in
