What are you counting?
It is on cold wintry days like today
that I find myself drifting back in time,
remembering things we did as kids
and wanting to do them again
while counting what is left on my to do list.
What I would like to be counting
are the memories I am collecting this season.
I can count the experiences of joy,
the things I am grateful for,
the images which provoke memories
and the history of my ancestors.
I can count by images,
cards,
photographs,
poems,
and entries in my journal.
I can count the number of times
I made hot chocolate, cappuccino or chai,
I wore one of my uber cuddly sweaters,
I made pots of soup or chili
or anything that kept me warm on the inside
while others things kept me warm on the outside.
I can count the number of snowfalls,
or like I did as a child, count snowflakes.
What more can I count this winter
that will capture what is happening within me
and around me this winter?
