Dear Yesterday,
Thank you so much for the lessons learned and bridges burned.
But now it’s tomorrow’s turn.
The pain of the past was a lot. It’s true.
Nevertheless I’m thankful because I learned a lot from you.
I used to tell myself away with you.
I’d be lying if said I didn’t wanna spend another day with you.
You prepared me for tomorrow whenever I’d rest.
If I paid enough attention then the day was the best.
I treasure our time together. I revere you.
I gained the wisdom I have today because I was near you.
As I walk into the future your lessons will last.
I’ll only focus on the good, not the bad of the past.
We’ll still have our Astoria memories to bring in the better days.
I’ll cherish them as I say so long to yesterday.

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.
