Stop

I woke up at my regular 5 am time this morning. I am out of practice since I have been off. Sleeping in, staying up late.
I didn’t get out of bed until 6ish.
I just laid there in the dark.
I could feel Troy’s heaving breathing on my neck. His arm around my waist. Maddie was snuggled up against my feet.
I could smell the cool air coming in through the window on my side of the bed and hear the hum of the fan on the other side.
My knee is throbbing just a bit but it wasn’t enough to wake me last night. I slept well and had several dreams. One, I opened a take out place inside a convention hall of sorts. Strange.
I still feel tired.
My body really.
Exhausted.
Sometimes I feel like I could sleep for days, but that wouldn’t happen. My back starts hurting if I lay around too long.
Anyway.
I had some thinking time.
No phone
No television
No writing
Just me and my thoughts.
I had such plans of decluttering while I was home recuperating, but I found out quick that was not going to happen.
I did need to stop and heal.
I expected to jump right back into life after 3 days.
Because that’s what I do.
Down time isn’t normally an option for me.
Even when I had the boating accident, I was back to work, didn’t skip a beat.
Being forced to stay at home sucked to say the least. But secretly it was nice the first few days. Then I got bored.
I did work from home a few days to make sure payroll and ordering was done with the help of a team member.
That did keep my brain in work mode.
So now, I am wrapped in a fuzzy robe, coffee in hand and enjoying what I love to do
Write and share my thoughts.
I’m sure they are boring to some, and others probably wonder what goes through my head on a daily basis.
If I am lucky. My words stay on subject.
But most of the time I see a squirrel and jump here and there.
I hope you can keep up.
This morning I really didn’t have a subject so to speak.
Maybe it is about healing.
Sometimes you have to physically
STOP
so you can heal.
Your body
Mind
And soul.
Coffee helps.
Love big my friends
