Love makes my day. Every day.

Always looking for something. To make my day. Doesn’t have to be much. A little thing will suffice. Being alive. Imagine that. Every day. For 79 years, and counting. Haven’t always been aware that I’ve been alive. Don’t even remember squeezing out of the womb. I wasn’t fully conscious yet. And perhaps there were years when I merely went through the motions.  Didn’t live memorable days. Indeed, that’s a shame. Maybe I wasn’t in love then. Come to think of it, maybe I’m not 79. Instead, much younger.  Because I wasn’t truly born or truly alive – until I fell in love. With life. Now love makes my day. Every day. –Jim Broede
