THIS IS HOW I DO.

******

Life has been good.

Life continues to be good. 

Social media is not attractive to me. 

I already own a stance 

on politics

on whose life matters

on COVID-19

on who my true friends are

and that's where my mind is these days: settled. 

And, if my mind becomes unsettled, 

I pray. 

I go for early morning walks up Coyote Hill, 

and if anything sits sideways in me during the day, 

I know where to turn for answers. 

In the last week, 

I cleaned the floor once, 

and 

it didn't really matter to me if Pinto drooled

or if the cottonwood blew into the house through the screens. 

This is how I do.

It's a good life.
