Somewhere Past

Today, I appreciate 50 cent refills on starbucks coffee, and finding out I still have enough for two more on my starbucks card. Today, I appreciate the stillness of my heart and mind. Today, I got a phone call from a friend that really lifted me up, and got me reoriented for what lies ahead, and what lays silent behind. Today, a little girl, resting on her grandmothers shoulder gave me a curious wave, and blew a kiss. Today, was saturday, like all the other saturdays.  
Tonight, a year ago, I was coming home from work covered in grease and apathy and despair. Today is still fresh and full of life, cold winds and glimpses of an autumn somewhere east, somewhere past.
