Yesterday I Ate Cake

Today I walked on the beach,

Yesterday I ate cake.

Today I felt the sand under my feet,

Yesterday I laughed with a friend.

Today I ignored the housework,

And sat and read a book instead.

Today I slept in until lunchtime,

Yesterday I drank wine.

Today I had lunch with the one I love,

Yesterday I enjoyed the sun.

Today I remembered the simple pleasures of life,

Tomorrow I will walk on the beach.

I have written about wanting to live a slower life at this post: Slowing Down in a World Built For Speed.
