blissed

I have a lot of wonderful in my life. I could go all out and make a list, but it would stretch far beyond the edges of this page. Maybe I could sum it up in one breath: ten minutes ago, dusted with friendship and good smells, I was curled up in the living room to listen and laugh, and as I sat--feeling secure and lovely, feeling chosen and satisfied--I ate the sweetest, juiciest orange and, smiling, I put the peels into the empty mug that had earlier held peppermint hot chocolate.
