Comfort

The work day is over. 10 hours and now you can relax. You drop the keys in the basket by the door. You throw the mail on your desk to look at later. You check the voice mail and listen to the to your dentist reminding you to make an appointment and the local candidate beginning his campaign early. You delete both messages. Then you do it. You sit on your bed, slide off your shoes, unbuckle the belt, unbutton the pants and slide them off over your tired legs. Those colored work socks come off next. You wiggle your toes and enjoy how it feels. Then you see them hanging on the hook inside your closet. Those well worn, cotton sweat pants. You hang up your work pants and remove the sweat pants from their hook where they've been waiting all day. They're so soft and warm. You slide one leg in, aiming your foot for the elastic opening. They slide on so easily. You then repeat the process for the other leg. You pull them up and don't feel a constricting belt reminding you that you need to lose a few pounds. Then you forget the e-mails and phone calls that need to be returned, you forget the mail that wants your attention. You pour yourself a glass of white wine, turn on the TV, and melt into the couch to relax. Ahhhh….that feels good.
