The scar crisscrossing your body is a road-map that will never lead back to the old you.

And so you run on a twisted and bent road. Hoping to be scrubbed clean beneath this blue, January sky.

The way back, simply, is to just go further in…one foot in front of the other.
Back in January I was given clearance to start working out again. My last surgery had been just before Thanksgiving. There is never truly a way back. Not to yesterday. Not to our old selves. There is really only further in.
