Listening counts

Some take risks without hesitation, others don’t dare.

It’s cold enough, my legs ache again. Maybe I just can’t stand it today.

This morning I sang along to American Pie. That counted for something.

Dancing in the gym sounds fine to me, though I haven’t decided yet.

When it’s the end, does it still count if the fat lady took Ozempic and isn’t fat anymore?

Listening counts. Being heard matters.
