walking on shattered glass

I will admit, it is not easy. The fire has died off but the ashes are still warm. This puts me in a very awkward situation. I'm not the type that can recover quickly after a sudden attack of flu. I try very hard, but it's just not in my nature to do it. From time to time i revisit the old times. I really can't help it. However hard i try, it doesn't work. But it is true, the fire has died off. As my mommy says: " Give it some time and it'll heal." I hope it won't take too long.
