At age 73 i have already reasoned with myself: you love yourself, you forgive yourself, you take care of yourself. You look yourself in the mirror and you say to yourself  - you are beautiful. You had better. For an emptynester waits on no one for comfort or courage for the day ahead. 

Those were the days. Ages ago there was no internet, no online poetry groups. No what's app or selfies and certainly no smart phones.
There was wine, prayer, scripture and Holy Mass. There was gym,  theatre, telephone dialed calls, good friends with cars and weekends from work to ease the pressure of managing as a single mother; when really a father still exists.

Then there comes the lull and the active days slither away. Some pressure meds made you cough. So you tell your doctor. I'm done with them. You make changes to your diet and words become your new bestie.
