I FINALLY did it!

I did it...and it was wonderful. It was warm, relaxing, calming, comfortable...nothing short of heavenly, just as I imagined it would be. I came home from work yesterday to walk into a house that smelled delicious. My lips curled to form a smirk on my face; dinner was already done. The roast was tender, as were the potatoes, and it smelled delicious. Knowing that I needed to do nothing else, after letting the dogs out, I marched my tired, sore body up to our bedroom, put on some comfortable clothes, and nestled into our warm bed. I hardly left my warm cacoon all night, and boy did my body, and mind, need it. I slept better than I have in nights and, although I still woke up with my nagging backache, I felt more refreshed than I had in days. I am finally getting to a point where I can listen to my body and give-in to it's needs, instead of ignoring them.
