today

there are days that are so absolutely full and crazy that
you don't have time to stop and think about how
simultaneously wonderful they were until you're
sitting at your kitchen table, taking a break for water
robe and slippers on, hair pulled back
and someone poses a simple question:
best part of your day?

and suddenly the day is replaying in my head
and all the best parts come rushing forward
a day that was reserved for class, midterm studying, paper writing, work
now creates for me a list of wonderful moments
that make me realize that today was a great day
