Instead

Sometimes the things we do instead of the usual things are good.  Sometimes both things are good.  Taking a break from fitness center exercise this week may be a good thing for me... unless, of course, it*s not.  :)

The fitness center
Is closed this week.
They are refinishing
All the floors.
Of course I could go elsewhere
To exercise.
Instead I mark the time
Watch the purple clematis
As it begins its bloom
In front.
The purple has wound its way
Up the post,
Around the chain.
It holds
The welcome butterfly.
Yesterday I worked with a client
She cannot get off the dime
To exercise.
Her goal this week
Is to find someone who will take one walk
With her.
Not a bad goal.
Not a bad goal at all.
She will report to me
Next Wednesday.
