No Vacancy

T
oday...

was not much different than many days I have had.

I still woke up at 5 30 am to see my son off to school

I went into my meditation room...and gave thanks for the day.

I even drank my customary cup of earl grey before taking my

morning walk.

but something...had indeed changed.

My scale still gave me the wrong weight

(as far as I was concerned)But I still felt lighter

My locks were still shoulder length.

My eyes were still hazel...but something...

had most definitely changed...

Then...like a bolt of lightning it hit me

almost knocking me off of my feet.

My heart

didn’t ache

anymore.

All my heartache finally

stopped renting space in

my heart and head.

letting me get free enough

To realize that a broken heart

doesn’t stop a day from being beautiful,

it doesn’t stop me from caring about the needs of others

and it doesn’t stop

me ...from living.

Now...instead of a for rent sign in my mind

I have a No Vacancy sign instead

There is no more room for misery

to live inside of me

anymore.
