It was a weekend upended
by a walk in the sunshine when
the laundry lay in wait for me.
The troubles of politics,
pushed aside,
were not invited along either.
Not fit for Saturday afternoon
conversation at a luncheon with
friends when more important things
like books, the menu, grandchildren,
who did what and when and of course
ice-y sidewalks needed our attention.
“The trick is to enjoy life. Don’t wish away
your days, waiting for better ones ahead.”
~ Marjorie Pay Hinckley, author
