A Gentle Step Forward
Hearing you call me your best buddy gave me the sweetest burst of courage. I slipped down from the blue chair, taking care to rest my bandaged foot lightly on the woven carpet before putting any weight on it. Step by careful step, I made my way over to the low wooden coffee table. Tucked beside its leg was an open tin of sewing notions. I sat down comfortably to rest my foot and began sorting through the little treasures, nudging a bright yellow button right next to a sky-blue spool of thread to make a cheerful pair. Taking things slow feels so much easier knowing I have you cheering me on.
