Boldy Departing

In a bold departure from routine,

I pulled the blinds up in both windows 

of my bedroom last night.

Now, the view of our busy street

in the middle of our small town

is generally not something I deliberately welcome inside...

and why I boldly departed last night, 

I do not know.

What I DO know 

is that I slept well 

and woke up marveling at the novelty

of it all. 

Here, smack dab in the middle of my 69th year,

I determine to boldly depart more frequently!
