n Is That Golden Moment? RD.COM When the scale tells me I’ve not gained a pound When my glasses or phone or keys have been found, When the cop pulls me over but spares me the ticket When my ice cream cone drips and I get to lick it, When I read the obituaries and don’t know a soul, When the car just ahead of me pays for my toll, When my pants can fit without sucking my gut in When I’m on the dance floor and a man asks to cut in, When it’s time for a movie and I get to choose it, When I cut out the coupon and remember to use it. Everyone understands the worth Of a big celebration: a marriage, a birth But moments of joy, too many to mention Brighten each day, when we just pay attention. By Eileen Hession RELATED: Mother’s Day Poems That Will Melt Her Heart  RD.COM Yupik Wisdom A Yupik Elder asked me once of an illness he had found Affecting all the Gussuck folk that he had been around. “Why do they chase the dollar so? What is this strange disease? Whatever are they striving for? What does it take to please?’ I answered that I did not know the causes nor the cure. But Affluenza is the name and it’s an ill for sure. He looked at me with wisdom’s eye and shared his culture’s lore. “Money’s like fish, when you run out, go out and catch some more.” He paused and added with a smile, “Too much can lead to strife, Money’s like fish, you have too much—it spoils, stinks up your life.” By Paul Berg RELATED: Most Beautiful Proverbs About Life and Love
