Feeling Sorry For Myself
my husband died 3 years ago
and this morning I realized that I haven't really let go
of the thought that he should be doing things
around the house
i just bought a new hose nozzle
went to attach it to the hose
and i couldn't screw the old one off
because it was corroded
it really annoyed me
and as i thought about what to do
the thought popped into my mind
that he would have been delighted
to help me with that
and i felt sorry for myself
i had to reset my brain to reality
and to how good my life really is
and how even though I have no one here
to do "honey do's" as he would call them
i can do it myself
and there's no need to be so upset
i'll feel this way until i get to the gym
and feel the warm smiles of my friends
penetrating the sadness and then
that positive feeling of someone cares
will set in and i will feel so much better
