Simplest Thing

I woke up today with the sound of my cat meowing away probably telling me off for getting up later than usual to feed her. So I got up, and get on with my morning routine. I was feeling very lazy today, I didnt feel like doing anything. I didn't want to do anything that comes close to any responsible behavior. Yes people..it was that kind of day.

I have been having this throbbing headache for 2 days..and eventho I know I have to eat something, I just dont feel like eating anything at all today...maybe I should go back to bed until my headache subsided..but thats not gonna happen as well since hunger will only make my headache worsen...

As I contemplate whether I should eat right away or wait till my hubby wakes up and have him prepare food for me, I remembered that I have a bunch of grapes in the fridge and figured thats perfect for bfast. I can just eat them and continue my sleep...and i did just that.

I huried back to bed, slid under the covers and shut my eyes.  Another couple of hours of sleep would be so nice, but typical of me, as I shut my eyes, my mind cant stop thinking of one book that I have on my book shelf that I never had the chance to read. So, I finally opened the book and settled against the pillows.

All of a sudden, I feel like having a bath..well that always make me feel much better everytime. It seems like the aches seems to subsided in the heat of the tub.  They just slipped away with the last of the bubbles down the drain. As I watch the bath bubbles bursts one by one, I kept thinking that all of us will be face with different kinds of stress and pressures of life. To me there are usually 3 things which will help me with mine; god, hubby and this long warm baths. I guess when I think of it, I am quite lucky to be blessed with a man beside me, friends who will be there for me and family who will love me no matter what.

After the much needed mini solitude with my self, I was feeling refreshed physically, mentally and emotionally. And my throbbing headache has gone completely, I had given myself permission to relax and to care for myself for a change. All it took was a time for myself and it was as simple as that..funny how a simple thing can make a big diffrence to the outcome of my day. It is true when people often say that "it's the simplest thing that will set us free"...
