Sometimes it comes out as a poem. Sometimes a rant. Sometimes a reflection that starts with one question and ends somewhere completely unexpected.

For most of Sue's life, writing has been a way to take the noise in her head and give it somewhere to go.

Sue has journaled for most of her life. When the voice in her head keeps going, writing gives it somewhere to land.

Sometimes that becomes a poem. Sometimes a rhyming rant. Sometimes it is simply a heartfelt thought that needed to exist outside of her head for a while.

In 2019, Sue's husband died unexpectedly from an accidental overdose. The year leading up to his death, the call that he had died, and the months that followed were filled with fear, grief, and a kind of loss that changed her deeply.

She kept writing. But this time, some of what had always stayed inside her journal began finding its way into the world.

Once a week, sometimes more, Sue began sharing pieces of those pages on her personal Facebook account under a simple name: Thought of the Day.

Thought of the Day became a place to explore the things that don't always fit neatly into a category: grief and joy, honesty and fear, love and loss, the mind, the body, and the ways we keep becoming who we are.

Some thoughts are deeply personal. Others begin with a question, an observation, or something Sue can't stop turning over in her mind. What connects them is a willingness to look inward and say the quiet part out loud.
