Yesterday Was A Tough Day

Yesterday I concentrated on writing about a very specific event, a very specific topic.

The emotions that were churned up left me completely devoid of fortitude.

Yesterday, vulnerability reigned supreme.

There were tears while I sat alone in my vehicle overlooking the great body of water on which my home town is located.  Snow-covered mountains in the background.  There were sobs from deep down inside me.

I had always been keenly aware of how this specific topic makes me feel.  I had, however, never really delved into the emotional details of it.  I have never tried to explicitly describe it before with written words.

The correct and descriptive words found traction on the document.

That particular chapter of my book still requires completing.  Today's task now lays before me.

I must say, though, that in usual fashion when I am feeling wobbly, my children are the first people I choose to contact.  And all three rose, once again, in typical fashion to the occasion.  Declarations of love from all four us filled the wires.  

Yesterday was a tough day, but my children made it bearable.

Happy Thursday.
