			Life isn't always the way we need or want it to be. I find a state of bliss daily .Many times it involves family around me or just my animals ~ usually both at the same time. Instilled scents w/ an  image . sounds from music, to children in a playground laughing,  to a hammer  w/ a lawnmower in the back round:  I can see the music or not knowing who is swinging that hammer ~ u feel the progress of a beautiful day w/ scented air of cut grass and honeysuckle : full of picturesque  nature. Ocean breeze  with a salty taste , peace ~ erases

			These days it's being home and sleeping in my own bed with the tv on and being with those I care about. It's better than visiting your hometown and nearly getting shot by gang members or going camping and almost becoming a 411 case..both,that recently happen to me.

			When my Sweetie surrounds me in his arms:  I feel safe, loved and protected by his love for me, when I am nestled in his loving presence.  To feel him stroking my hair while his hand is wrapped around my waist as I breathe with him, our exchange of affection (privately or in public or among our friends, brings peace to us both.  ✨✨✨✨❤️✨✨✨✨
