I stood at the back door feeling trapped.
I stood at the back door and looked out to a place I couldn’t go.
Where we live, there is rarely snow so winter is just all dead. There is nothing there.
But I wanted there to be something there.
And then I saw it, just a sparkle.

There, barely visible, hovering above the table was a sparkle.

I looked closer. It wasn’t outside, it was where I stood!
A glittery rhinestone heart necklace that I had bought for myself.
It was my own heart that contained the only sparkle in the day. I just had to look for it. It was there all along.

The heart necklace was the only part of me that reflected in the glass on the dreary day.
