yesterday I hurt my back and have been laid up these past two days. I am embarrassed to admit that I was doing no more than brushing my teeth (ahhh, that precarious leaning over the sink is a dangerous thing). I was so frustrated as I have been exercising and trying to be in better shape, stronger body and mind, to avoid these little setbacks. but all that did me no good as I was felled by the noble toothbrush.

I have to admit that although I have not enjoyed the back spasms and pain, I have relished in the laziness of the weekend. and in the tender loving care of my dear husband. I have watched movie after movie, taken naps, delighted in the warmth of the beloved heating pad (off set by the chill of the frozen bag of peas). and been waited on hand and foot (and lower back) by my dear spouse.

so despite a little lost time, some minor inconvenience of tasks not done and a bit of pain, it has been a lovely weekend. we have spent the hours together. chatting or in silence. isn't it strange how odd moments and circumstance are a great reassurance of love?

i am truly blessed.
