You allowed me a snapshot, a brief moment to go back to my youth, a chance to hang out with my brother again, laugh and be ridiculous, care free and irresponsible.
Only when I looked up, did the mirror confirm what my heart already knew, those days had passed me by.
My time had come and gone. My glimpse was a gift. It was meant to be a reflection and nothing more. It was a pick me up and put me on my feet again moment. It is time to refocus on my present and embrace where I am now in life.
It is time for me to love myself as I am, and to start pursuing all I hope to become.
Even as I look at the tasks that lie before me; do I realize that I have managed to cheat ten years.
I look beside me and there are bike rides and walks to take, sand castles to build and tears to wipe dry. Little women to raise.
The bar stool I have been sitting on is worn by many "go nowhere" memories of those who have shared it before me.
I am thankful that I did not waste months or years sitting here in this go nowhere place doing go nowhere things with go nowhere people.
My dreams and 'to dos' are written on a list which I have memorized.
The first one....I will love and value myself to teach my daughters to love and value themselves.
The second one....Inspire my daughters by inspiring myself.
Admit when I am wrong.
Clean up my messes.
