My friend Whitney
On her Facebook page
Wrote about how
These are numbered days

Her witches brews coffee
With assorted sugar and cream
Was a lovely reminder
Today just for me

These are numbered days
And that is why
I carefully curate
The days of this life

It’s why I choose
Free moments over excess pay
Every time, no question
Because I value every day

It’s why I savor
Bits of cheese
And cheddar chips
And gummy bears in ice cream

It’s why I savor
Things other than snacks
Like funny videos
And afternoon naps

Like walks on the beach
And trips to see friends
Like hoodies and podcasts
And watching Spiderman

What do you savor
In these numbered days?
How do you enjoy them?
Let’s count the ways.
