Gounded

Today I was sick.

Today I stayed home.

Today I read to Little Smye for 3 hours.

Today I took a hike in the woods.

Today I found hundreds upon hundreds of frost feathers.

Today I am grounded. Today I hurt like hell. Today I laughed. Today I screamed in the middle of the woods where no one heard. Today I felt heard.

Today I found the world I live in beautiful again, even if only for a moment.

Tomorrow, I don't know, but I'm hopeful. Tomorrow, I will still be grounded.
