I’ve got this friend…
... let’s just call her “Jen” since that’s a fine name which she usually responds to. For years the many forces of modern life have pushed her hither and yon. Bills to be paid. Office politics. Friends’ crises (she’s a super-caring person much affected by those around her), and the busy sweep of modern life.
This morning her eyes opened to new and different possibilities. She was reminded that she’s damn smart, she has twenty or thirty or more working years ahead of her and she’s bursting with all sorts of potential to do things differently. Make her life anew. If only it were spring and we could cue the birdsong and show her walking through the park smiling with tuplips bursting out, the movie credits could roll on another happy ending/beginning.
Who knows where all this opportunity and newfound confidence may lead—bookwriting, bakery building or somewhere else? Doesn’t matter a bit. Right now it’s time to glory in the goodness that is a well deserved boost to her self-esteem.
