A needed laugh.

This made me laugh.

I needed a laugh.

Saturday’s coming.

She, leaving for home, for always.

Rest in peace, my friend. I took the day off, the whole of it. To drink coffee, to turn on two lights, to have a wee bit of coffee, to hide in my fortress of covers and comfort.

I found a laugh, today. Who knew life could still go on? It goes on, still. I go on, with it. Tore up, from the floor up. Upside down, yet hanging on. Just, barely. How? Beats me.

God, Life, and the two moms sit with me in companionable silence. They comfort me. I look at myself in my kiddie panties, with the purple pansies, and smile. Am a tough cookie, I lie to myself.

Yet, I am living life, still. Feels good. Even these tough moments. Yea, I be aite.

Keep going, beloveds. We got this. Enjoy each moment. Make some new ones. Love someone. Start with you. I love me enough to do some self-care and taking the day just to let my heart miss one who is now missing.

Don’t fall for the dumbness that only through hard work can you earn your place and space in this world. Take the time to rest, when and as needed. Take the time to do you, when and as needed. Take the time to be, always and as needed.

Never, ever, ever, ever allow ANYTHING to steal your joy. It’s there. Still. Just may be buried, for a time, beneath tears, heartache, heartbreak and all manner of things. Be sure, beloveds, to dig it out. May take a bit of time but can’t leave your joy buried.

Life is good, even when it hurts.

If someone can spare a bit of space, in a pocket, I could use a ride. My feet hurt. My heart is tired and dreading Saturday.

  1. Wow. Chili AND coffee!? Trying to talk myself into doing the day. Can just barely see a tiny LED flickering…chili sure smells good. Think I shall have a bit so I can have a bit of a TRY. Ty. More than you know. I think I can…

  2. Thinking of you, Cassandra. And I’ve put a little LED light in my window to shine some much needed brightness across the pond. I’ll leave it there for the weekend in the hope it will help you get through this difficult time. It’ll remind me to send espresso strength towards you every time I see it.

      1. I’ll leave the light on for as long as required. Sending you strength, virtual chili (inferior to yours, yet none the less made with love) and a steaming hot virtual double espresso!
