Hope's Novellette: Their Found!!!
Start OverOne morning I woke up happy and enjoyed playing with my kids that day. 2 days later I woke up having just spread his ashes and facing going through his things and watching his life get parted out and walk away. I woke up sad and dreading that day wishing it would end quickly. Who could have known when I started each of those days that they would have ended in that manner? And if these things are possible then why not others on days where I wake and follow the script society has left by my bed for me to act out. And as it got closer and I lived out each day, each month, each night of anger and pain, when the day came that it was no longer mine, who could have known the freedom and joy I would feel on knowing it was no longer my problem? Start over.I had to buy groceries and pay bills and the day started with coffee and dread. Would you say that’s a good day?Last night I went to bed having lived 2 days in one and my work incomplete, my husband recovering from surgery. Because those toys were put there by a boy that one day won’t live here anymore and that phone call will be someone who will probably earn me money. And when my husband is gone to work and I sit down with my coffee, to write and hear the silence in our home as my babies sleep, I know it’s a good day. Any day writing, any day with coffee and any day that begins with my husband’s face is a good day to start over. And tomorrow you can wake up knowing that today is the day that you are filling your water bottle and preparing to drink more water. And you made it yet another day closer to feeling sexy and beautiful.So if you woke up today and knew you wouldn’t get to the laundry again, why not start over?
