Monday

"Rainy days and Mondays"... Well, it is Monday, and a hot, sunny summer's day, no rain in sight. Small waves wash over me today, and my tears replace raindrops.

Yesterday was a good day. With siblings and family I felt like me once more, almost. I was able to laugh with them and at myself.

The best connection was my encounter with a tiny, red-legged grasshopper. We extended our greeting by walking toward each other. We stopped and peered into eyes with glints of recognition. Then we each went our own way. The peace I felt was instantaneous, and stays with me still.

Soon, I will attempt to put some pictures of my mother in their proper places. For several weeks her photos lay in full view, where I must pass her each time I enter and leave. Now that I've had my first dream of her since she died, I am ready to declutter my living space. More about that dream in another post.
