February Reasons to be Merry

Ice cream cake, black rice pudding, Eggs Benedict from our favorite restaurant.

Hello, hello, I'm glad I'm here

My presence is back in the blogosphere

I thought why not, it gives me cheer

Writing good thoughts sets aside my fears

As you see here, I post a lot about food

It is one of the things that sure boost my mood

I had ice cream cake shaped like a heart, you see

Breakfast and lunch times with my sweetheart and me

Pad Thai noodles, black rice pudding

Eggs Benedict in front of the wall art

Seafood curry, spicy soup while we look

At salt-and-pepper-cow-so-cute 

A valentine day with my special dude

With flowers, rose plant, and, yes, more food

Even sitting in the gym massage chair

Made me feel, "Oh, so good."

In a more serious note, I feel grateful for the grace we received

For the safety from a hit and run accident

My daughter's safe, we're relieved

We are thankful that this morning the thief was caught

Breaking in my daughter's car right in the lot

In our neighborhood

I am thankful for yoga, therapy, and support 

For the gym on these cold days

And exercise there where it's not cold

I am thankful to be reminded to write a blog post

As I'd rather be writing my gratitude here

Highlighting the good and getting them exposed
