Take a shower.........

Take a shower.

Wash away every trace of yesterday.

Of smells.

Of weary skin.

Get dressed.

Make coffee,

windows open,

the sun shining through.

Hold the cup with two hands and notice that you feel the feeling of warmth.

You still feel warmth.

Notice the silence.

Notice your heart.

It’s still beating.

Still fighting.

Now get back to work.

Work with your mind sharp and eyes focused and if any thoughts of worries or hate or sadness creep their ways around,

shake them off like a runner in the night for you own your mind,

and you need to tame it.

Still beating.

Still fighting.

You made it,

after all.

You made it,

another day.

And you can make it one more.

You’re doing just fine.

You’re doing fine.

I’m doing just fine.
