Life goes by in fast succession
Spend time on what matters

Worked a long day today
I am good at what I do
I enjoyed the moments with clients and co-workers
And conversations with family in distant places

Nephew wants his 23 dollars from a bet gone bad
I'll put it in the mail, with a note about "next year"

Dinner was waiting on me when I got home
She really loves me

My, did this day go by fast
How fortunate I am that I do not labor all day and struggle to make ends meet
Something to acknowledge on this upcoming holiday
