Ah, that “would have been” life. This would have been the opening night of my next (9th? 10th?) production of “Church Basement Ladies.” ⁣

We all have a few “would have beens” right now. What are yours? ⁣

Celebrate them. Mourn them. Maybe recreate a part of them. Perhaps I’ll fling a few peanuts through the air in honor of opening night.⁣

And when you’re ready, come back to live in your present reality and find the gift in that. Move from “would have been” to “what is and what will be” because that’s where hope lives.
