like a puppy -

I wake, feeling like a puppy, frisky, bouncy, happy, curious, and content with the world as it is.

I feel some resilience, and my bones are soft and malleable like a puppy's bones.  I bounce back into place.

Jane and I are choosing the poems that we feel are bones for the book.   We are up to the thigh.  Each day as we go in has felt emotional for me, so I am curious about today, as I feel in a different place.  I feel like a kangaroo, the mother and the baby in the pouch.   Bounce is my word for today.

I have a book recommendation, a wonderful must-read.   It is My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell.  It is laugh-out-loud funny and a great treat.

It is another beautiful day.  Wow, are we blessed.  The moon is a friend in the sky.
