On the Road to Recovery

Dear Readers,

Yesterday moved slowly, the kind of day where time stretches gently and the world feels just a little quieter. I spent most of it resting — still healing after my unexpected trip to the ER. My body reminded me that recovery takes patience, so I gave it exactly that. There’s been plenty of sleep, plenty of Benadryl, and plenty of moments spent wrapped in soft blankets, letting the day pass peacefully.

But even slow days can hold a spark of joy. My boyfriend finally received the package I sent him, and his reaction was worth every bit of the wait. Inside were a few cozy surprises — cooling sheets, a mattress protector, and a cooling blanket. He was delighted, truly, and couldn’t stop talking about how soft everything felt. It warmed my heart to know something so simple could bring him comfort and a smile.

Though yesterday was quiet and unhurried, it reminded me that healing isn’t just about rest — it’s about finding small, gentle moments that remind us we’re still surrounded by love and care.

With love,
Monique
