I’ve had a stressful week and I wanted to have a cathartic release last night. But, life happens, and things did not add up to that. I did, however, manage to find a comfort, and pain and solace. First, in a little hand held TENs, run along my lower arms for a few minutes, to let me get lost in sensation and relax a little. Second, in curling up between friends, warmth and snuggles to just not worry about things for a while. Third, in poking him and getting poked back, first a few pressure points, and then his hand in my hair. He held me tightly, dragging my head around to wherever he wanted it. Eyes closed, mouth open, gasping and losing myself in the intense sensation and bliss of his hand in my hair.
It was not a lot, but it was enough. Enough to give me some relief. Enough to make me feel loved. Enough to lighten my load and make me smile and fill me with gratitude.
