Day One Again

For the person starting over. Again. The counter is back at zero. The promises feel hollow because they have been made before and broken before. They are standing at the beginning for the hundredth time and the shame of that is almost worse than the substance. They do not know if they have the strength to try again.

DAY 1 — PRESS PLAY

You are standing at zero, and the shame of starting over feels like a heavy stone in your throat. You think you have ruined your chances, that you are too late, that the day is nearly gone and you have nothing to show for it. But I am not counting your days. I am not keeping score. I am simply standing here at zero with you, and zero is a brave place to be.

This was Day 1. There are 6 more days.
