First Day

Wake up alone, fix my coffee sit and ponder the day, New Year's Day Just another day Happy day celebratory meal songs and sundaes. third wheel date animated movie table top easel blank canvas blank paper blank thoughts blank imagination dog stained carpet chair springs sprung He doesn't know Life can't get no better life could get different New Year's Day!!

Carol, good capsule of a day in your life. I like your honest descriptions. And thanks for pointing out the typo in my poem, Antiquated Lady. I'll edit it. James Tate

It appears you had a rather quiet New Years Day without the usual fanfare. Mine was quite similar. You have described everything quite well.

Hi Doris. Thanks for calling. Life summed up here with no punches pulled. I'm old and 5stone overweight so my wife would pay me to not behave like the last perfect man. Hope everything flows for you in the new year. Eamon
