Grumpy morning turns better

Lack of sleep makes a crabby morning. I pout about this and that, Throw on my sweater To take the dogs to the dog park. That's usually good for a laugh. The sweater has sequins. The sequins catch the sun. My car turns into a disco ball. A simple way for Nature To razzle dazzle A smile from me. Good morning, world.

I like you when you're cheerful. I never thought that sequins would be inspirational.

Reminds me of those cars I used to see where people hung crystals from their mirrors that would catch the morning sun and flash those of us following in our cars on the freeway with dancing colors.

Our lives measured on the cosmic scale is a rather daunting concept.

The world seems daunting today. Maybe I should devote time to smaller goals?

Hubris, a Haiku

This haiku came to me as we took a walk one day. I have an inkling I will expand it further, having more fun with Turtle's thoughts!
