Moving Forward I

I’ve decided that

because

life is too short

I am going to be

happy to be alive

and

move forward

for me.

This weekend

I finished cleaning out

the bedroom drawers

and closet (except for shoes)

and the junk room (aka office).

Someone responded to

the above with:

“Busy bees have

no time for sorrow.”

That’s not entirely true.

But although tears fell

this girl powered through…

There is room for

forging a new life

whilst remembering

the past

and acknowledging

the sorrow that

will be a part of me

forever.
