Stuck

That is me today.


Stuck.


A truck in the mud.
JB's song "Baby" in my head...ALL DAY... on his birthday.
A lollipop in a toddler's curls.
The right words in my throat at a wake.
Zipper on my favorite jeans when I have to really, really pee.
Ugly thoughts about myself and my abilities...and inabilities... when I am supposed to be positive.
Peanut butter on the roof of my mouth.
Raspberry seed in between my two back teeth.
Pebble in my sock when I leave for a long walk with the dog.
In traffic when I left too late.
With the choice to keep being stuck or write again.


I chose to write.
