On edge

I make lists and have at least a dozen reasons to smile most mornings.

Reminders help offset the programming.

I have tried and can’t quite get the smile to reach my eyes today.

The edge is never too far away.

Old messages are getting tangled in new quandaries and I am losing hope.

It will be… ok. I am… ok.

There is always bread to eat and books to read and never mind the empty places.

I am not brave but stuck in place.
