Commercial Break


You're in the house and the television is on. Your husband is there, but he doesn't pay any attention to you and you wonder why. What must I do to get back the feeling I once had? Why do I give more than I receive? You look over at him, he doesn't notice. At least not until there's a commercial break, and even then it's just a glance and a forced smile. "Happily ever after!" you promised yourself and he reinforced the feelings at the beginning. But time has faded so much in your life that it's hard to focus on anything but what is missing. You think about the one that got away. He's somewhere out there. Maybe he's in the phone book or online. Just a click away. Do you keep hope while the embers fade into the night or do you reach into the secret passage of your soul and start a new flame? Let me know what you decide. I'll listen.
