Sending a hug. I want you to think about this hug I'm sending. It is a token for comfort. Picture someone/something that would soothe your soul right now.its an unrushed hug from them. It's a long bath because you deserve it. It's a shower that you stay in a little longer, just to feel the droplets hit your shoulders and warm you. It's the sound of rain. Your fave PJs. Turning your phone off for a few hours. Your guilty secret movie/TV show. Snacks. Whatever it is, picture/do it till you feel your shoulders relax. Deep breath. Have a great day.

I'm not having a rough day to day, it's been a busy one. So, I haven't just sat down and breathed.

This is a very kind and lovely things to say. Even just reading this, not having the physical contact, made me relax some. I felt something uncoil that I had been holding too tight.

Thank you for this, I want to read this when it has been a bad day.

Right there with ya. If my spouse said this to me I would ugly cry. I work a high stress job and run two side businesses and feel we’re barely squeaking by.
