How are you doing on a Wednesday

held energy 4

Late, and writing anyway.

Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week.

My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it.

Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before.

Listening.

Ninth week for me too and I also nearly stopped. Glad neither of us did, so far.

I have read your journal from the start this week. You have come a very long way and you are allowed to notice that.

Thank you for saying the hard part out loud. It makes it easier for the rest of us to.

This is why I read the boring weeks. Thank you for the boring weeks.
