A Sigh of Relief

A sigh of relief, I can feel the warmth of the whiskey as It burns its way down my gullet much like the path of volcanic lava searching out the sea, Causing an inferno deep within my gut My mind is racing from one thought to the next Momentarily pausing on each event of the day until the dull ache within my tired feet takes the focus of my attention, Grateful for the bar stool rail to rest them upon. Family, housework, job, pets…. Spouse, kids, boss The list continues on. A Mother’s work is never done. one small moment to myself A sigh of relief
