Today, like most days, I'm hoping to discover signs of progress. I want to see forward momentum. I want to be closer to the summit than yesterday.

It’s #WorldMentalHealthDay 💚
Take a breath. Look how far you’ve come.
Healing is a journey, but you’re not alone on this road.
"We Have Come So Far"

Here's a poem that fell out of my head today. A Diminished Life. I hope you like it. Let me know. Sometimes, I use poetry and journaling as a kind of self-guided therapy.

Good afternoon and #HappyWednesday everyone. I am traveling in the hills of beautiful #appalachia for work today. That means lots of windshield time, but also lots of #audiobook time. What are you reading/listening to this week?

Every #poem starts somewhere. ✒️📖Mine usually start on paper. I keep a notebook in my pocket to capture fleeting ideas and #inspiration. Where does your writing start? #poetry #poetrycommunity

You’ve seen chaos and pain.
You’ve weathered the storm, carried each other through.
Now the skies havecleared.
Happy Friday. Keep going. You’re not alone.

They soften.
They weather.
They age.
My poem "Vintage" is for anyone whose goals look different now, but still endure
