I'm Puzzled

I'm puzzled by the actions of one who claimed to have loved me, yet hurt me so deep without ever saying she was sorry.
I'm puzzled how I let myself slip into such an angry spitful place because of this.

I Appreciate

I appreciate the friends and aquaintances who have given me feedback and observations.
I appreciate the chance to see myself in a different light.
I appreciate the time I did have with Francie before the walls and words blocked and wounded what had been there.

I'm Grateful

Today I am grateful to be here.
To be conscious, healthy and alive.
I'm grateful there are those who love me even flawed and imperfect.
