New course

It is important to count everything.

I only tripped on one weight machine

Today.

This would have been

Par for the course

In past years.

It is an improvement

These days.

Woo hoo.

Celebration.

Would you like to sit down

A minute?

The trainer asks.

Why yes I would,

Thank you.

Then we move on

To the next thing.

I understand the sandhills

Have returned.

I wait to hear them.

Thanks

Sometimes only one word in the right direction brings the possibility of change.

Thanks

I think.

Thanks

I say.

It seems the right thing

Even when thanks

Is lodged in my throat.

Perhaps thanks

Will move me in a new direction,

Change the scenery,

Alter the weather.

Maybe thanks

Will bring a new beginning

Somehow

Somewhere
