Feeling alright
Finding sleep after unrest Feeling rested after days of exhaustion A hot shower following a hard days work Paying bills on time, with money I didn't expect Trading jeans for comfortable bedclothes A steaming cup of sweet apple cider A sweater from the dryer when I'm cold Cats snuggling in next to me...
