Seize the Day

Seize the day! My soul screamed as I got out of bed. I was barely awake, but I felt she had my health in good stead. What should I do first? I asked, with a lazy day start. That’s easy! She yelled. “We will follow our heart!” Follow our heart, you mean sing and dance and be with a friend? The possibilities jumped all over my body, I did a back bend! My heart did a leap, and I summersaulted out of bed in a flash. I knew I was going to win a trophy or a sixty-yard dash! Enthusiasm had me by the lapels and was kissing my cheek. I laughed all the way to breakfast and heard my hair squeak. We are going to begin living today! I told my thrilled mother. Great! She said. Now if you could just please rev up your brother!
