Sometimes

Sometimes all you can do is breathe and look up. These past six months have brought more losses than I care to count (big and small and in between ones) but also gains. From where I am standing it is still rather hazy what the Universe wants me to learn. But my eyes, mind and heart are opening back up. That is saying a lot, considering I've been in survival mode for what seems forever. Walls up. Smile guarded. Joy to a complete halt.

Today, I stood outside and smiled as I reached up to the sky. I might not reach my goals in this lifetime but I promise to keep reaching. Even if it is simply to scratch someone's back.
