It is dark and quiet.
The stillness of the late autumn night is comforting to me.
I climb the stairs, feeling my way in the darkness,
longing for the comfort of my cool sheets.
The wind can be heard whistling quietly outside my window as I lay my head on the pillow.
The swish of the leaves circling in the air can be heard softly as I sigh and release the last bit of stress from my body.
My eyes are closed now.
I concentrate on my breathing...in and out....in and out....
My chest rises and falls like the swell of the waves on the great ocean.
My mind is finally winding down....allowing my body its well deserved rest.
The images of the day's events dance and play in my mind's eye.
How wonderful a day it has been!
My feet up on the sofa, not a care in the world.
Being pampered and cared for, how amazing is that?
Such a gem in this world of soot and rubbish.
How did I find such an amazing man?
I ask myself that many times as I drift off to pleasant slumber.
My last conscious thought before sleep overcomes me.....
I'm happy....Happier than I've been in a very, very long time....
Thank you Mark....you are the best!!
