REALLY SEES ME. And smiles. Last week, Winona and I were cleaning out my garage when we found that bottle of floor cleaner.
She picked it up, read the note, and smiled. “Should we keep it?”
I took it from her hands and tossed it in the trash. “Nah!
Some things aren’t meant to shine. They’re meant to grow.”
“What are you thinking about?”
I pulled her close, kissing the top of her head. “Just how sometimes the best things in life start with a bottle of floor cleaner.”
She laughed and that warm sound made everything feel right.
“Well, your head is pretty shiny today.”
“Perfect for dancing,” I said, pulling her into an impromptu waltz in our kitchen. “You know what makes you different from who you were before?”
“What’s that?”
“You notice things now. Like how I painted my nails green yesterday.”
I spun her gently.
“Mint green. And you missed a spot on your pinky.”
She smiled and I realized that sometimes losing everything is just the universe’s way of making room for something better. And something real.
