My favorite place in all the world is my front porch.
Early weekend mornings when the house is still asleep -
I find such peace here;
Hot coffee on the plastic table, an ashtray beside me,
a book and my journal on my lap; my dogs, noses wiggling
furiously at the morning smells, sit lazily near my chair.
The neighborhood is mostly quiet at this hour -
a few poor souls stumble off to work, the “shopping cart” lady
goes by, a few birds sing while bees and butterflies visit my garden.
The world is beautiful and people are kind
when viewed from this piece of cement.
In a short while I will again be:
mother, daughter, wife, friend,
but for now...
with my coffee
and my ashtray
and my dogs
on my front porch…
I can simply be me.

It is absolutely wonderful when we can see the world as beautiful. I just love the peaceful, easy feeling that I get when I read you. I like the "laid-back" me better than the "business-me."..hehe..Thanks for the glimpse, lady. Write on....
