the perfect day

Cherish every moment of the day where tasks go undone

The day where you’ve wasted all of your time on the good kind of nothing

And floated in water until your skin was wrinkled and sun-kissed

Savor the day when meal time is fluid and you spoil yourself with treats

Where you lounge on every chair in the house

And lay on blankets and towels and grass in the sunshine

Don’t miss the moments in a day where inside jokes are born

As laughter spills into every sentence without any effort

And smiles take up permanent residence

Stop and linger in the spaces where silence is easy and full of connection

When hugs are extended generously with honesty

And songs are belted out in harmony with your soul kin

Be in awe of the day that includes a sky of fireworks, the shade of a tree and wind on your face

It’s a miracle to get so much joy between sunrise and sunset

And to know that you may get to do it all again
