Monday

Almost all Mondays are hard,
transitioning to a work week from
a two day break
but today seems extra hard
since we celebrated the life
of a friend of 36 years yesterday.
It was lovely, yet hard.
I feel exhausted, emotional,
and like it should be Friday
and it isn't even 6:30 AM
on Monday yet.

Hard to go back to work when you’re still grieving!
