There has been wonderful light in my eyes lately.
{have you noticed?}
But it makes me feel bittersweet, too.
My heart leaped inside me, saying, Oh, I see what was missing.
And the realization that I was missing something, something that came and went and will remain gone…
it’s utterly bittersweet.
Now you have no idea what I’m talking about, I’m sure. But no matter. I’m hoping you can relate somehow, in a poetic way. I’m hoping you might say, “Yes, Natalie, I have been there. I have had light in my eyes that shone with bittersweet tears, too.”
And maybe you have a royal blue skirt that makes you happy. So happy that you have worn it three days in a row the first week you got it. It may not be a royal blue skirt…but I bet you know what I mean.
Sometimes a happy repeat outfit that we know makes us feel good is just what we need to sift out the bittersweet and keep only the beautiful light.
And when that fails, drive North in the rain to get a hot chocolate.
‘Cause, speaking from experience, that works, too.
🙂
