To thine own self be true.

Today's reward is

unbridled optimism.

Damn, I'm powerful.

Motherhood brings out the best in me.

I kiss her soft cheek,
Whisper goodnight and I know
My life is lovely.

Fresh start.

Feet firm under me.
Refreshed focus, renewed drive.
I'll never settle.

Homecoming.

If I were smarter
I'd have left my house spotless.
The laundry mocks me.
