after short shift
Yuki the furry snooze alarm
tells me to get up

yearly physical
being told all I need is
to shed a few pounds

slowing down a bit
being thankful for friends
and cool family

blessing in disguise
invite for Thanksgiving
without covered dish

sleep out of kilter
hitting the snooze alarm
more than once

all around bad news
being grateful
God is in control

changing weather
layering to keep warm
and calm hot flashes
