New Hair and Friends

Today was a new hair day.
Today was a new me in the making.
New colors, new car, new realization.
Today was a take-leave day;
A turning point,
A determination
To set forth on a new path.
Today was a day to commit to staying the course.
Be aware.
Pay attention to my saboteur.
Today my brain felt stuffed with cats with claws,
Protesting too small a space.
Ouch!
Too much input, too little time to process.
Today Ozzy counted three friends:
Julian, Edmund and Leonardo!
Today I remembered that simple things
Like counting friends make life sweet.
Today I see that uncomfortable situations
In the long run dissolve into mush,
Not worth eating.
Today I want to remember the beauty of autumn leaves
Painting the surface of a pond.
Breathe that in and be!
