All good things don’t necessarily end, they change like the seasons…
“All good things” is a place for anyone with OR without chronic illness, debilitating illness, disability, or the carers for us to come and get away for 5 minutes to have a read and a piece of hope. Goodness can come out of hardship, and darkness can cloak itself for only so long until it bursts into the light.
Warmly,
Jonathan
“Hope is the last thing that dies. Maybe because hope is one of those dratted things that is truly, honestly, genuinely immortal.”

One Lifetime Isn’t Enough
One lifetime is not enough. It feels selfish to write these words; still I do at age 43.
Some will say I’m cutting myself out of roles I could be cast in by disclosing this number.
Some will say that the act of writing creative nonfiction will tank my teaching career.
Some will say I am fulfilling a prophecy by manifesting what I write.
Summer Remission
I sit drinking my club soda and lemon, with my legs crossed as I sit on a barstool across from my friend. The bar is dark with cherry-wood high top pub tables. A green pool table with a red awning just within my sight line. I stop and look down. I’m sitting on a stool, wearing flip-flops. In retrospect, I imagine it’s what hiking in high heels must feel like. I smile.
