Twenty Eight Days

With dreams of vacation in the most desolate places
January’s glimmer gives way to a new rite of Purification 
Though I never could consider her as dismal March 
It is all she has to look forward to. 
When frozen mud rules 
I like W. Ethelbert must work to survive.

Photo Credit  Scott Cain  "The day before purification"  Someone had suggested that changing a common conversation inquiry from “How was your day” to “What do you want to remember about your day” was a good way to bring about a more positive reflection in conversation. I like good conversation. In fact I can think of few things that are the better. So, I made these notes of mine for day during the month of January. Here are my thirty one.

It was nice to have something to look forward to when I got home   The delicious leftovers burrito, I made myself for dinner. I had a meaningful conversation with m...
