Good Things

She remembers that you get to pick where you want to sit at IHOP

And she knows exactly where she wants to sit.

She notices we are wearing the same outfit

Bike shorts and shirts with sleeves that are too big.

Two women pick their favorite booth.

She clocks their enthusiasm

Content to share the experience

Knowing the good things in life

Come easy.
