About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write.
Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground.

"Every day brings new choices."

-------
Right now, I'm in the beginning of a day and I'm very happy with the weather report, since the scorching heat seems to have taken a short leave. I woke up to nice 76 degrees and the weather people say it will go up to 78 with rain. I don't mind the rain at all. The whole world needs it; that is, not to be overdone but enough of it.
It is true! Each day brings new choices. Some small like the weather I just wrote about or what to wear, what to eat, and when to begin cleaning the house, if ever! Then, there are weightier choices such as: Do I take a risk, start or mend a new or old friendship, change my routine, manage my money better?
To top it with an even better mood, even my mistakes have a clout. Sometimes they teach me; other times, they let me use them to my benefit. Anyone who writes will know this: Even a misspelled word will evoke new ideas. As I have found out during my long years on earth, growth sometimes stems from imperfections.
Since I did a lot yesterday, I'm planning to take things easier today, but then, who knows, any day is a blank page. We build it with the choices we make, as if a mosaic. Any routine could turn into an adventure and any hour can turn the ordinary into extraordinary.
Then, in the beginning of a new day, one might say or think, "Here we go, again!" or might just be happy to be alive and say, "Good Morning, World!"
May we all have great days and may we approach them with optimism and intention, always!
