After letting the dogs out, I shuffle into the bathroom to face what the night has done to me while sleeping.
Waiting until I finish brushing my teeth, I daringly look up and chuckle ruefully -” Ah, this is what I begin with today!” as I give myself a knowing look of enduring.
I begin to realize that it’s not about me and any perceived “flaws” or “failures.”
It’s that the energies often around me keep beating upon my fortitude, plying their wiles as attempting to reshape the face looking back at me.
