After 25 Years, She Learns A New Trick

To eat breakfast in the morning, at a table adjacent to my husband, before I leave for work, without being late to the office (mostly).

In a small but significant way, I’m finally learning how to show up for the day, coffee already downed.

And if this isn’t me conquering fear, I don’t know what is, but morning has finally become my friend.

(I think the promise of pumpkin butter over an English muffin has helped.)

    I like that I know your apartment now. That mug. Your pumpkin butter. Your husband. And your tables. I like all those things.
