I made it

 

To my 73rd birthday today.

For some reason I was worried.

I saw days before headlines of people dying

on this year of their birth. 

Will I make it?

I woke up relieved. I am alive.

Planning what to eat. What to cook.

Or shall I eat out. Whether to add stay

on my diet or break it.

The sun is up. Very nice start.

And I made it.  Thank God.

My best gift so far a good night sleep.

The urge to write this.

Next I will prepare something to eat.

Poke bowl. Or oatmeal. 

Choices. What joy!
