Good Night Anxiety

I pray the thoughts slow down as you settle into bed, Your worries quieting down, as your head hits the pillow Body sinking into the mattress, breathing, gentle and rhythmic Eyelids closing as you leave this day behind, Dreaming of smiles and adventure, calm and tranquility, fully enthralled in this unfamiliar feeling. Good night Anxiety,…

Who Invited Anxiety Over?

I wish I knew why at this very moment, I feel like I'm on the verge of an anxiety attack. I had such a nice day with my family. Me and my sons and husband hung out at home, resting up for a couple hours, before heading out to my aunts house for dinner and…
