The day to relax

As I settle in for the night, curled up nicely under the covers as my room slowly acquires heat, I take this moment to remember a most beautiful day.
A seemingly innocent day of relaxation evolved with a plethora of small conversations that spanned so many levels.  I truly enjoyed the unexpected, and learning so much about a person through a multitude of glimpses into their life.  Hours passed sitting in the warm waters at Le Nordik while I was lost in quiet (for fear I may be "shushed") conversation while my tea cup became buried beneath the snow falling.
Days such as these remind me of the small things in life that mean so much.  Most times the urge is to plan big extraordinary excursions, and forgotten are those little moments of sitting in a car chatting, rocking out a hot tub, or even that evening meal in a completely empty restaurant.  Remembering that it's not just the journey to a place, but who that journey is taken with.  Appreciating friends in a person's life and making sure they know that they are cared for.  Opening up by sharing thoughts, ideas and savouring how it feels to not be so closed all the time.

I drift into sweet slumber grateful for...
water

connection

giggling
smiles
hugs
closeness
