Balancing acts

Things I like about coming home at night?
Bike ride home
Hearing the frogs starting to sing
Taking detours, seeing new things
Being outside and under the sky
Watching spring unfurl like a flag across the landscape
Feeling my body get stronger week by week
Taking a moment to reflect about whatever the emotional topic of the day is
The anticipation of dinner, and beer
Coming into my personal space and feeling solitude wrapped around me like a comforting hug: when you can't have affection or intimacy, sometimes being alone is okay too.

Things I don't like?
Being hungry
Being tired

I think the goods here outweighs the bad, and as the world unfolds into life I think I can manage.
