Bertha Baggage

Book 1 of 5 in SILVER SERIES OF GROWN-UP WISDOM

Bertha was in familiar company as she sat with the regulars in her favorite neighborhood pub. She came to socialize. Everybody knew everybody here. Some came to drown their problems; enough liquor made them forget.

Bertha came to let her opinions be known. Bertha brought her baggage.

Bertha learned a long time ago that alcohol worked wonders to hush her emotions and keep them hidden deep down inside. Bertha carried a LOT of baggage. Bertha often exclaimed, "Life's a bitch and then you die!"

Sometimes when Bertha walked through the front door of the pub, the bartender could tell by the look on her face that she was bringing baggage into his bar.

Baggage. Baggage. Baggage. If those bags had labels, they would read: Unworthiness. Scarcity. Low Self-Esteem. Anger. Resentment. Jealousy.

Do you know anyone like Bertha?

Perhaps this adult fiction, illustrated short story will resonate with them!
