Silence

Silence filled the house today. Little things interrupt, the refrigerator, the dogs moving, occasional gusts of wind, break the quiet. A day of quiet, peace. A long walk in cold drizzle with the dogs only intensifies my inner calm.  A day of reflection and quiet solitude. Myself at peace, calm, resting. Sleep. Quiet work. Occasional busyness with the dogs chasing each-other gives me time to smile, draws me out. But in the main, inward-focussed, inward-feeling. Happy. Life doesn't give me many of these days. Cherish them.

It is an amazing thing to be emotionally healthy. I stumble over it often, banging my toe - or my head - up against another reality check. Greg (my partner) is good for me, not letting me dwell on old painful hurts but living in the now, the present. To love and be loved - truly loved/loving for what I am not what I might be/want to be/could be - is an amazing gift. I love loving Greg and I love being loved by him. How nauseatingly saccharine is that?! :)

Hugs to all ...

Sleep knits up the ravelled sleeve of care? I'm off ... to knit.
