a simple truth

The thing I dread the most

is the day I tell myself

I never loved you, either.

Dread: Write about doing something you don’t want to do.

The Perfect Day

Prompt:  What does a perfect day look like for you right now?

 

Any day when the sky is glowing orange

the air is quiet  and

 I am out walking my dog and it feels like we are all alone in the world

Is a perfect day.

Last year I decided to take the guitar back up.

I haven’t played in an embarssing amount of time, so I knew it was going to be chore to get my hands back into shape. I had to go back and work on sight reading too. 

I practice when I’m waiting for my dinner to cook, for my laundry to dry, I practice when I feel like I want to feel connected to a world that breaks to bits day by day.

There are other times when I practice and play because it brings me joy .
