—make one contact per day (via e-mail or phone).

MISS ME - BUT LET ME GO
When I come to the end of the road,
And the sun has set for me:

I have been avoiding this all weekend. Which is silly. I have spent a lifetime of using words to survive. I have wrote when things have been not so good, in situations where my emotional well being has been on the line. And yet, now , my emotional being is in turmoil, and words faill […]
