I'm feeling a bit out of sorts today. I have been trying to juggle too much lately, things out of my league and comfort zone. I feel unsure; I feel like a failure. These anxieties manifested themselves in my dreams last night, and I was plagued by nightmares. My beau heard my dream-state struggles and woke me gently. I heard his voice break through, "Shhh, shhhh. Babe, it's okay, it's okay."
So for today, I am returning to simplicity. A quiet house. No one to get back to. Working with my hands. Thread. A simple nutritious meal.

Is there anything more healing than feeling protected and being nurtured? In the midst of my anxiety, I do feel gratitude.
