'Evening Marie,
Hope you got home and spent some 'me' time just for yourself :)
My hubby has a few machines, one in particular is a dialysis machine which he has to hook up to every evening for 9 1/2 hrs because he suffers from end stage renal failure. (kidney failure) He's a very ill man. And as much as I would love to sleep with him, I'm a very light sleeper, and even with ear plugs I can here the solutions and the variety of sounds all night long. So, I have the master bedroom which is large and I have a mini fridge, coffee machine, t.v. set, my p.c., love seat and of course my bed.
This room is my safe place in the emotional sense. I am strong believer, well before I quit, that we all live very stressful lives and there has to be a special place where one can go, even for a little while for comfort, for the silence, for the serenity in order to maintain some sanity in this crazy world. Also, I can go to my room, play some serene music, light a few candles, lay down in bed and just breathe...aaaaawwwwwwwwwww.... I just love it. THIS scenario is one which I use often as one of my tools in coping with craves and other major triggers. I ask to be left alone for just a little while, go there, close the door and take it all in.
((((((((((hugs)))))))) and see you tomorrow...
