cotton Snow Drift

As I come down from the high and Adrenalin rush of my busy season Dec, I take a deep breath and large gulp of the first drink I can get my hands on.

Who am I kidding we've been drinking all through the busy season, one week in, I put a few inspirational words on my door where others could also draw strength.

'I laugh to keep myself from crying.'

As was true for the select few who really busted our asses and made it happen. When I say 'it' I mean everything. Anything you want to pay for I can make happen...perfectly. I should get cards that say that, because the things people think of are amazing, mind blowing, and ridiculously unbelievable. All this lack of energy, kicking into a total tap out, gives me just the boost to make up for nights of working into the wee hours of the morning and getting up to do it all over again...and again...and again.

Which brings me to a thought, what do you do to release? From stress, anger, frustration, happiness, depression, or just plain ol' too much energy. A common denominator between my guy friends is 'Tapping Out' all of them... Something physical that will get them to the point of letting go. Whatever got them to that point, once pushed them too far is now dripped to the floor with the rest of the discarded sweat and left there. For a moment I think guys have it waaay too easy. But then I move on to the women in my life, not before thinking of my personal fav... A long super hot shower, may seem kinda strange but it gives me the time I need to put everything into perspective then let them melt away with the muscle pain of the day. Another great take a run, her reasoning was to 'stomp' out everything in her mind. So it seems women like to think it out, while guys like to bang it out ::yes, that kind of bang counts:: One that seems to top many list Mani and Pedis or anything that has to do with pampering ones self while others may not be willing too.

This all takes me to where it all ends, you lay yourself down alone or with someone and close your eyes. My particular haven is 950 count white cotton, with down comforter, and pillow after pillow...all ending in what looks like peaks and valleys of snow covered land. Peaceful and perfect for a Sunday sleep in. So while a long run, speed bag, spa time are all great... Make that place you go every night the best, after all half your life is spent there, or here for me in cotton snow drifts.

I did get inspired amongst this crazy month... It's still a works in progress, but I promise to get it up asap!
