The Essence of a New Day…It’s Morning!
Written By: ME

As I lay from a distance I hear birds chirping. There is a chill in the house that radiates through my soul. A feeling of anxiousness as I wait for the little one to briskly rush in reaching out for me with open arms embracing me with a hug and kisses saying “good morning mommy, I slept good, can we have pancakes for breakfast”. The anticipation of the alarm going off [wake up] and a good morning phone from the man of my dreams who I yearn for nightly.

The inner me [my soul and heart] are standing at attention yet I feel a calmness, serenity, peace, at ease. Dealing with the pain and the past gets that much easier every day. Today….Today, my heart overflows with joy and I am just happy!

Pain ... a feeling, an emotion, a nonverbal expression, a hurt embedded deep in my soul.

Pain vs. me, myself, I…is an internal war, a battle, a struggle wounding, piercing, bruising my heart. We all feel it sometimes including the wealthy, middle class, the poor, the young, and the famous.

When you have walked the hard life or been in hard places, the emotional roller coaster of life, disappointments, experienced hurt and pain [a bleeding heart, a wound so deep with alcohol bubbling inside] you learn to cut yourself off emotionally from self and the outside world. You build a wall, a shield to continue the journey of what we call life.

When you wake up in the morning thankful, blessed, and grateful to see another day some how some way that feeling of pain breaks through over powering a moment of happiness and begins to consumes the spirit, the soul, the flesh, the inner you.
