Invincible

Sometimes life throws these little reminders at you. In the face. With rotten tomatoes. 

Reminders that you’re invincible some days and needy others. Strong on a Tuesday and not so much that Thursday. 

Windshield vs bug, I suppose. 

Today was a reminder. Many reminders, actually. 

*I AM invincible. 

Tomorrow though. Not today. 

*I’m Mom. 

And nurse. And counselor. And coach.  And teacher. And jack of all trades. 

*I make the decisions. 

On my own. For the best. 

*I don’t know which is best, bug or windshield. 

*I cry. 

In anger. In frustration. In sadness. In pride. In joy. 

Pfft, all of the above. 

*I’m human. 

*I got this. 

Oh! And... 

*Those tomatoes taste good on a hoagie.
