At 5 am ‘tween  fitful sleep and wakefulness, 
I toss and turn and wonder how
My day will be. 
What will it bring as it unfolds
A day of unplanned activity?
Will it be busy
With endless chores I’ve put off doing till today?
Will I meet with friends and talk of things
We’ve kept for just a day like this?
Will it be a day to read  a book
Sipping a coffee in the verandah at the Club?
A day to paint or write a blog?
Or see a movie with Jo and Kay?
Will I tramp around  the shops to look
For things I do not really need?

I woke this morning , my mind a blank
Not knowing how things would unfold.
Then Anna Shetty called and said she’d like to
Spend the day with me.
She baked a cake
I cooked the meal
We lazed around and spoke of things
Inconsequential.

We snoozed a bit ,
And lolled around……
I dropped her home,
Did some chores and now 
I’m off to enjoy the happiness 
And bliss of the rest of this unstructured day.
