Five years out

We are five years passed the event that smashed my heart. Encouragement, eventually the thoughts slow down. Sometimes I go a month or more. But when certain Things happen: dates, sometimes… but usually when my mind has time to imagine: that’s when it goes to the ugly place. Sometimes I literally have to shake my head while driving down the road and say I’m my mind “I’m not going there today.” I find that it is critical that I “take every thought captive” and not let my mind run wild.
