Feeling the Love ... Now

This morning I was having a difficult time.

Some old feelings were triggered

in a place where I don't always feel safe.

So I did what I'm learning to do

to take very good care of myself.

I took some time apart,

I closed my eyes,

and placed my hand over my heart,

gently reminding myself

I am not alone in this.

I am not alone in this.

I am not alone in this.

And I allowed myself the gift of my tears.

This afternoon I took a much needed nap

and talked to a dear friend

who can hear me

and love me.

And after more tears

I am feeling it again...

I am not alone.

I'm so grateful.
