Journal Reflection – A Cozy Day with My Boys 🐾✨

Today was a peacful, rainy day. Outside the rain fell heavy but Inside was a love filled day...curled up at home with Zen and Shadow as they reminded me once again how healing their presence is. Zen spent most of the evening tucked into my arm, his little paw draped over my arm like a hug. Shadow wasn’t far away, thier butts touching - all sprawled out and soaking in the calm too. Watching the two of them nap together, safe and content, filled me with a sense of peace I really needed.

There are days when the pain feels too heavy and the fatigue too much to carry. On those days, my body forces me to slow down, even when my mind wants to do more. But it’s in those quiet, aching hours that I find myself the most grateful for small comforts...the warmth of a blanket, a familiar show on the TV, and the steady companionship of two little souls who don’t ask me to be anything other than present.

I put on The Summer I Turned Pretty and let myself sink into the comfort of blankets, quiet moments, and the atmosphere I’ve created in my space-candles, soft lighting, words of faith all around me. It felt grounding and soothing, like a reset for both my body and my spirit.

Today wasn’t about doing a lot. It was about resting, being present, and letting love-through cuddles, stories, and simple moments...hold me together. These are the days that keep me steady...

With the rain as my lullaby, I think it’s time to go take a nap.

“He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He refreshes my soul.” – Psalm 23:2-3 🌿
