staying on your path

so often at work, when work is just starting and I am the only one

upstairs in the bakery, i have a sense of isolation  about my work... but i encourage

myself that 'i can do it' and also encourage myself to just 'get into the work'... and so i do and the work

gets done... and the day becomes brighter slowly but surely...

right now i am alone at home.. it's still dark out... and I am alone with Blue..

and I feel a sense of isolation and wanting to reach out to friends and family

to know where I exist in the world...

but I am remembering something

my therapist told me ..'stay on your path'.....and so I am encouraging myself..

with 'you can do it' and 'just get into it' and I know things will get better with the dawning of the day -

and i realize that much of my sense of isolation here in my

time off - where I don't have that sense of perspective outside of my feelings -

my sights can be lifted above the water line of my emotions - with just that

kind of self talk...stay on your path! peace.
