The Weekend (Thoughts)

This morning..I woke up with thoughts clawing frantically towards the weekend. I know that this will not be an easy weekend for me. It almost promises that. So as always, I'm worrying about it before it even begins. On the drive to work I felt my thoughts cover their cold hands around my throat. I could barely breathe.

It's only two days
It's only two days..

I was looking to the sky again and trying to let it's openness find something within me to release. I thought, Look at the sky Lorna, so vast and beautiful, always covering you, always protecting you. What do you have to worry about while under it?

And I did look up and I did see just how calming and soft and serene it looked to me. And I could feel my heart slow its beat and my breathing come back to normal. I don't know what will happen tomorrow, or the day after, or even the day after that..but I know that right now, I'm here under the sky. And I'm alive.
