What Do I Call a Good Day?

What do I call a good day?

A day when I learn something new

is a fabulous day.

I mean it.

After all, this life journey

is largely about

understanding the mystery

and getting enriched.

So—

a new word, a phrase,

a concept, a discovery—

makes me happy.

It tells me I am not stagnant

but learning.

It gives me

a dopamine kick.

I learned peach flowers

in Japanese are called momo.

Pre-dawn in Spanish is madrugada.

Pacific Flyway

is a major route

for migratory birds.

My son's eczema

is worse after waking up.

April can be blustery.

Tiger swallowtail

caterpillars feed on elm leaves.

And so much more.

I am like sponge—

ready for soaking in knowledge.

I’m proud of this interest

a day of abundant learning

is a good day.
