Today is a good day. Not knowing what tomorrow brings I bathe in the glory and the moments of today because I have lived it through. There were times when I wished I would the world would open up and swallow me whole because life was just too toxic. The people in it who were once good, became these unrecognizable figures that didn’t make sense, and who wished ill on me. Their smiles on their face would mask my demise – the power and control they had that could and did take it all from me. But, what I thought was the end, turned out to be the beginning of something different … something else. Something that made me walk away be the reason for my smile today.
I am starting to feel more like myself, and it feels wonderful. I am starting to whole … somewhat. I can smile and I don’t feel guilty about it. I can laugh and not feel like I have eyes staring me down. I can be … and it is freeing. The darkness I once felt is no longer there, and I feel the light on my skin. I see me … finally.
As I find comfort in shedding more of myself in my gratitudes, I look forward to connecting with you.
