I woke up with the dawn today, something I haven’t done in a long time. As I gazed out my window, I saw the last star of the night. And although the day was edging him out, he still shone as brightly as he could. I stared at him for as long as I could, until he had to go. I gazed at it until the blue sky faded into paler hues, until streaks of pink and lavender-gray eased gently eased him out and birds started singing.
And I know, even as my star had to go, he will be back.
And I know better now, I know that I will be ok. True, I will still feel the pain now and then, I will still wonder at times. But I will not live with the “what-if.”
And I am thankful for yet another lesson to be stronger.

Postscript- November 13, 2007
Ha- guess what. I have woken up early and gotten to work by at least 7 am for a couple of days now. Nothing extraordinary about that except that I get to bed by around 2.30 am and my mind doesn’t quiet down until 3 am. Oh well, the more clients, the merrier. I just wish for less bickering and more helping one another, less ulterior motives and more disclosure.
