What makes you smile?

For me it’s a yellow dress with black lace.
There’s nothing like a party dress.
I put it on and sit down to write this little piece about celebrating.
Why do we need a special day to celebrate?
Let every day be a joyous remembering of life.
Thank you for today, I am alive, and in this moment, I am happy.

I put on my dress just to write this little piece about delight.
For me it is a yellow dress that spins when I twirl.
Today I am thankful and a smile lingers on my lips.
It is true, not forced, not false, not faltering.

I put on this dress, it is inspiring and fancifying.
Wistfully I think about summer, yellow as the sunflowers.
I think I’ll wear this dress all day, not just for tonight or this moment – why not?
I’ll walk a little taller and hold my head a little higher.
What will you do to make your feet keep on dancing?

A Little Ditty About Peas

Round
Green
Delicious
Frozen Peas to be specific
I’ll tell you I hate peas but in reality I love them
Frozen peas that is
Oh, I’ll eat them out of a pod just fine
But out of a can, forget it
I won’t have them in salad
Or pasta
Or bread... ?
I won’t even think about them in my soup
Sure, I’ll consider them on potatoes or rice
But if you offer me peas out of a bag from the freezer…
I will never refuse them
