It’s been a long day

A man takes shower

…Take a shower, wash off the day.
Drink a glass of water.
Make the room dark.
Lie down and close your eyes.
Notice the silence.
Notice your heart. 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.
I’m doing just fine.

  1. I love this. And yes, you, I, we, are doing fine. One more day.

    (and the other part of me says, water? Um, wine. Drink a glass of wine.)
