Ella sings to me tonight

I can hear Ella singing in my ears: what a difference a day makes, twenty four little hours. I've moved pass the guilt to find acknowledgement of my responsability in all this mess. Guilt doesn't work anymore, it never has. I played a part in the events that have led me here but I also believe that blame leads me nowhere. Today I am standing taller than yesterday. I have moved passed the sorrow to find serenity, from pain to comfort, from solitude to love. Those twenty four little hours have made me a different woman, with every minute I grew wiser. I remembered the pain, the broken promises, the forgotten futures, I remembered my stolen heart and my loneliness. I remembered the joy too, and the perfect moments, the forever in the making and all the love. With every passing minute I also dreamed of a better life, of calmer waters, of loving hours. I have spent this day alone with myself, building treasures in my mind, finding my core. I sit here a day later, having faced fears and pain, wiser and happier. All I must do now is live the next twenty four hours with the same courage, and with the same gratitude. I go to sleep tonight with no regrets, I go to sleep tonight at peace with myself.
