No old friend comes to mind . Feeling a void of treasured friendship at the moment . Something that I felt would have occurred earlier , circa 2021 . I did some very deep inner work yet friendships remained perfectly intact . Just as well, since not working my life has changed in phases of what makes me truly happy . The exercise regimen I lovingly called “gym bunny life “ ended with my diagnosis of misaligned spine . I didn’t consciously end it but friendships made there faded out . I had to concentrate on learning to walk properly , going to appointments and feeling a range of emotions . What gave me joy changed , I wasn’t happy to settle into acceptance and did not want to give up my mission to get fully fit again . Amidst people who were older I felt my fire going out . Without thinking of consequence I took myself away and started to write more . Joining in with a group facilitating and filled with opportunities to join in with abundant opportunities and more groups.
Most of my valued company is found on online . Old chums exist but they are absorbed in being grandmothers . Another friend is so deeply discontented I don’t want to be with her . She lowers my vibrations . I need a break from tedious boredom and am enjoying my own company . Choosing myself and doing what I like is empowering . I really am sick of time wasted and going along with people who unconsciously force me to compromise .
There is no one I pine to meet up with . My sisters maybe , one is not a snuggler , the other one shows no need . We have so much shared history but there is division and the precious time spent together clings on by a delicate thread .
My dear snuggly companion is a little dog who adores me . She is absolutely beautiful and is the spoilt pouch of my neighbour who I have lived beside for 23 years . We are close and although we had disputes in earlier years there is lots of love between us . There is plenty I don’t approve of . Her insistence on smoking when it is killing her , the concept of irresponsibility vexes me . Her little dog misses their close companionship so I take the reins of aunty most cuddly and caring . The sweet furry bundles loves outings and I take her to the park to meet other owners and dogs . Affixing her peachy pouch lead is a challenge in the midst physical overexcitement . There is no telling her to calm down as she suffers from selective hearing . Off we go towards the park . Arriving home for more playtime in the garden . I sometimes manage to make a coffee and sit outside . My presence is reassuring . Indoors she does zoomies like a crazy whirl of energy . Doing jobs I plant my feet precisely and pay attention , Fear of threading on tiny feet rules me . She at least sits outside the kitchen while I cook . We race up the stairs together and I am never left alone unless I leave the house . There is little point in distressing her so I only leave her when I go swimming . She has a thick folded blanket, lays down with food , water and toys . Music plays in the background . When I return she is overjoyed and I set her free in the garden or we go out again for another walk . Later I am generally exhausted and welcome a sit down . It won’t be alone , so I embrace the inevitable. Better to prepare a cushion for my lap and invite her to sit with me . Dodging my face as she desires to kiss me . I manage to divert her .Snuggling up a formerly bouncing dog lies still and fades off to sleep . I am there , her security blanket . The adoring bundle can forget about missing her owner m. I know I am giving the best service I can give my neighbour while away , with a bosom buddy or in hospital as she is now .
Thinking of the animals
Promptvent Day 8
Snuggle down softly, sweet creatures,
slumber peacefully in the arms of Mother Earth
And when you awake may the sun be shining to
welcome to spring

#promptvent #day8 SNUGGLE
Velvety ears
and cold wet nose,
deep brown eyes
where happiness glows.
As night draws in
and we settle down
you snuggle yourself
in my dressing gown.
Calm and cosy,
curtains drawn,
when it's cold outside
you keep me warm.
Oooh this poem felt like a hug in itself!
