Thankful Thursday

Dear Shadow,

Thank you for sticking by me, going where I go, and getting all big and fat with me these last few months. I like the way you smooth things down, and simplify my lines, just the opposite of the mirror and its bright, crass, reflective details. I know it's been raining the last few days and I haven't seen much of you, but it was nice to catch a glimpse of you this morning with your scraggly little bed-head ponytail. We'll be out playing in the sunshine again in no time, I'm sure.

Love, Astrid
