started and ended today

I started my day in the Heartland.
I ended my day in the Northeast.

I started my day with coffee.
I ended my day with raspberries and ice cream.

I started my day with family.
I ended my day with a friend.

I started my day with hurry-up.
I ended my day with scripture.

I started my day with a book half read.
I ended my day with a book almost finished.

I started my day in my bedroom.
I ended my day in a hotel.

    P.S. Read my slice today to post a comment on Mrs. Ball's blog. She wrote a blessed "Where I'm From" poem. :)

    The pattern in this poem creates rhythm that echoes the meaning in your words. Your day went from busy to serene.
