It feels good to pedal into town. Pedaling a bicycle brings thoughts of being carefree and independent. And it’s fun.
Things are still choppy and rough. I placed a call to the doctor tonite.
My friend/mentor says our code in life is tolerance and love.
Every day, I show up again and try, in the face of the turmoil and turbulence a young girl carries in her heart. Probably shame, low self-esteem, distrust and shattered hope, too. That is a heavy heart, though not everyone sees it.
Good night.

Mental health is still health, and you wouldn’t blame yourself for not being able to set a broken bone. You work for the relief of being able to get her what she needs, it doesn’t matter who supplies it. Hope today was easier.
