Happy Remarks

What was on the wall that day.

My nephew runs to me at every family dinner. I am the silly aunt. I take this seriously.

Christmas lights still up in February. I love when nobody takes them down.

My mother used to say tomorrow's another day. She said it like a promise. I still tell my kids that.

My friend bought me my favorite gum from a country she visited.

The summer my mom took us camping by herself after my dad left. She didn't know how. We figured it out together.

My father teaching me to tie a tie in front of the bathroom mirror. We made it backwards three times before we got it right.

Soft socks straight from the dryer.

My partner cooks when I am sad and sings while he does.

My mom let me pick the music in the car for two hours straight on long drives. She never complained.

Bats over the back porch at dusk.

First daffodils up. The same patch every year. I don't know who planted them but I send thanks.

The clean smell of rain coming.
