Long day gone

     As the night winds down I cover myself in four
layers of warmth. Ah so grateful fourteen hours of
smiling and being peppy is over.

    Coming home was the best feeling of after such a
long day. Then a scaulding hot rainfall to erase the
aches and grime. Still I sat air drying. Realizing just
how dry my paleness was. Ugh. Any form of cloth
pressed against skin made it stick. Perhaps the need
of cocoa butter to add the lost moisture.

   Warmth given to rather parched limbs. No more
stiffness in touching. Did not realize how good it was
to massage soul.

   Releasing all the tension, stress of the day. Relaxing
until finally able to make way back to bedroom.
Placing mismatched fleece pajamas on and tucking in
under four layers of warmth.

   I did not realize as soon as my head touched the
pillow I would fall asleep. Truly amazing how fast that
was.

   Now I have been awakened for about an hour or so.
Looking forward to a short five hours. So grateful that
sleep took me to clear dreams. Dreams of clouds. No
one, nothing entered a dream.

     Still a little bit tired but must start day soon.
Hopefully the afternoon is not as bitter in coldness
as last night was. I hope for just a small glimmer of
sunshine. One by one the seconds open wider. Now
thinking today is Saturday but seeing that it is actually
Friday. Hmm. One more day of work and then I am
completely off. So looking forward to that.

   Parched hands reach further, stretching limbs and
back. Oh how good it feels to press all of soul to
limits. Ah now to prepare for this day.

   Red and khaki picked out. Then once again a hot
downpour of rain pulling all aches leftover from last
night out of system. Ah holding tight the warmth.
Hoping for some sunlight to brighten the blue topaz
and to help a smile caress my cheeks.

  Ah yes anything is possible when you trust in
Jehovah. One more day I was able to breathe.

   So my dear friend, I do hope you enjoyed your day
yesterday. I hope, maybe, today to have a glimpse
in a thought. I hope that somewhere, somehow down
the line of today you think of me. Smiling of my
laughter and silliness of reds stretching, still causing
a sigh to escape.

   Smile. For I know I will be heading out in a couple of
hours to help all that I can. Bouncing with happiness
and smiling with joy.

   Hope I see you.
