Thank-full: Day 9... brevity

A brief list for a brief post.  I need to learn brevity, after all, if I'm going to make it as a writer, and this is good practice, cutting my words down to the bare essentials, because that's what I really need to be working on this afternoon and evening, cutting words, that is, for a paper that's due in my writing class tomorrow, and this business of self-editing is so hard.  Evidently.  (I couldn't resist).


Today I'm thankful for:


      new friends - customers and bank tellers and such


"chicken feet" leaves


     a bag of juicy satsumas


windswept leaves dancing above the ground


     dancing the cha-cha with my favorite partner


a steaming bowl of pho on a chilly day


     purple penguin rain boots


doe-eyed girls with sweeping lashes
