Easter

Easter.

An appropriate day to begin her RLE.

The mirror showed a young woman in a green, floral-print dress. Nervously, smoothing the skirt over her hips, yet again, she smiled. And donned her Easter hat, a present from her mother. The gift was a surprise after their turmoil during the past year.

A horn beeped out front; her mom, with a ride to church.

Adjust the hat, one last check in the mirror.

Retrieving her purse, she took a deep breath, let it out with an affirming, “You go girl!” and opened the door to a new day and life.

These short short pieces are fun to read, but this one gave me a shiver with the emotion you were able to give so few words. Maybe the unofficial blessing for the 'community,' "You go girl!"
Hugs!
