Hello Dear Earth

Here I am – I feel old, my lower back aches.
Earth – you are waking up, your spring flowers are blooming, and you are very very old.
Leaning in, I see the new and the old in me.
Listing gratitudes – sun on my face, dog on my lap (muddy paws and all), a therapy session later just for me.
Offering my thanks for the buttercups on the lawn.
