there are bounties in each day of our life. what we reach for that day we reach for that bounty. our bounty is what we vision for the day and our happiness is our start and ending of the day. your poem was well crafted and well written. thanks for the read. "your so vein" means mood or humor.

your so vein

This work has reached the exceptional level

I couldn't think of a better way to start off a day. With a start like that, the rest of the day has to be filled with blessings, no matter how they arrive or under what circumstances.

Congratulations on winning the "A Typical Day" contest. You wrote an intriguing story I like how you visioned your day and then got up and followed through with it.

    I appreciate that very much, LaFrance. I had a reviewer who thought it was kind of vague, the way I expressed what I do. So it's always nice having your kind of positive reinforcement that what I wrote was actually okay, and it landed well. So thank you more than you know today. xo

You make this look do effortless. When I read your work, it's like you have a muse on your shoulder guiding your hand. (My muse, meanwhile, uses my hair as a hammock and takes a nap.) Suffice it to say your muse is definitely earning his, her or its keep. Your poem is sweet and down-to-earth and relatable, and your last line is a bit humorous, and very charming. Good job - but I've come to expect no less. Congratulations on the well-deserved win.

Although short, this is a great day to emulate. Yes to thanking the Lord for today - for gratitude for a good husband, thanking friends who love you anyway. If nothing else, I'd love to hear more about your friends, more about your music students, a typical student's efforts. Guess I think your life must be plenty rewarding.
Nice quick glimpse at your day.
If nothing else on which to comment, I'd like to read more details about your day.

Dear Author,
I enjoyed your poem, "Acknowledging the Good", and your candid gratitude. It is a wonderful perspective and way of life for everyone to follow. Your words remind me of a positive prophecy for one's future and a role model of how to live one's life. Your picture also is wonderful.
My best in this contest entry,
Deborah
