Over the bridge

Starrlight profile image
36 Replies

I was drawn toward a path that lead to this gorgeous bridge. My dog was so scared to take a step onto it. But with my encouragement she did and then she had no problem. I was proud of her. She’s so much like me. We both want the adventure so we run at it and then when we arrive we get tripped up and afraid but we are also determined to figure it out and be courageous and try until we succeed. And here you guys encourage me and I am so thankful and am doing quite well lately especially compared to the pure hell I was in before that I pray stays put in memory. I do have really bad rough days but I am just somehow more free. I love life now. I buckle my seat belt now. I actually want to live. So never give up entirely because we don’t know what is over the other side.

Love the bridge. Everything you write has a poetic sound to it. ''The Bridge', would make an awesome poem! I am ecstatically happy to hear that you are doing better. Keep up the good work, my awesome friend!

Hi JEG, I agree that "The Bridge" would be a great poem written across the page

of that picture. Now all you have to do is write the poem. :)

Say "hi" to Bonnie for me. Hope you guys are well. x

Sue says hi to you too! Indeed I was thinking about writing a poem about the bridge and how it equates to our problems in life. I thought maybe I should wait to see if Starrlight might want to do it first. But, I certainly could write that. It's a strong subject. Hope you're doing well, my friend!

JEG, I think I'm a little punch happy right now. It's getting late, been a long day.

sorry, I did mean Sue. Please forgive me. There must be a Bonnie somewhere

reaching out for me. lol

Great idea about the poem. Either way, I will be watching for it.

Goodnight to both of you. Take care. x
