In addition to the anxiety caused by my ADHD children's incessant talking and lack of sleep, I also fear the thought of having to examine my own character and work in relation to my writing.

I haven't written anything in almost 20 years, but am I, as always, overanalyzing this? Do I have it right that the question has something to do with narratives in fiction?

"Shhh" is the command I give myself after closing my eyes and taking a long breath. I decide to write down some ideas, so I grab my pen and paper. My children have finally dozed off after all this time, and I remember that I write every day at work. When I let my shoulders relax, I feel a wave of relief wash over me. With this newfound confidence in my abilities, I can go on with my writing.

You go ignored every day as my family pass you countless times.

But when we moved in, we were amazed by your beauty and the way the light shone through you, played with your colours, and reflected them on the wall; we thought you were amazing.

However, today is different; I see you with mixed sadness for having overlooked you but with renewed wonder.

You are incredibly powerful and commanding while holding the sun and controlling the lightning; the other Greek gods must fear you.

I shall make an effort to look upon you every day when I pass by you.

Can you guess what it is?

I’ve got my money in my pocket.

I’m going to buy a space rocket.

I’m going to fly it to the moon.

I hope to see you there soon.

But don’t forget to bring your spoon,

cause the moon is made of cheese.

YUM YUM!
