Friday

 Craving brownies 

Devouring new books

Listening to a cute pooch

Your turn?

Joy

 Jackson Browne

And I letting loose

Knowing that today

Is glorious 

Because 

I’m freer now

Because I actively

Seek a smile

To bring joy

Cry

 Mentally turning a corner. I have six nephews and a niece who give me joy. I didn’t birth them, but they are mine. Stuck with me. Seeing them last night on FaceTime gave my soul the smile I temporarily shelved. I cry every day.  I knew my mood would be all over the place after surgery, but really I had no clue. So I’m getting better even if I go through tissues more often than the feminine products I finally trashed. 

Happies today

Tatler magazine 

Music

True

 Each day

Without a tear

Is acceptance

Of what is

Not what I wish

Guess

 True of false 

Latte liberal

Nantucket or bust

Spanish or English

Candy or salt

Wins

 Tell me your wins

Pain

 Sitting up

A blessing

After a hospital stay

I had to have some

Female organs

Taken out

For health reasons

I will not be bearing children

A fate I fought 

For a year

A year that brought

A pain I won’t explain

My health could no longer

Take the pain

And I had to 

Be reassured

My value

Is not tied

To child-bearing

Be kind
