Letter 4498
I arrived home last night after a long journey. The place I had been was familiar, yet the way there and back was more difficult than that to which I was accustomed.
So weary, when I finally slept.
❖
Today it all feels a dream. Where was I? Did it happen? Why does my body ache?
Let me treat myself as gently today as I ever have.
Consider:
Can I give myself time to recover?
