A Morning after the Holidays

Unwinding from Holiday Stress

A Morning after the Holidays

Warm, rich liquid travels down my throat,

Heating my shivering skin,

Soft, pillows filled with the feathers of an angel’s wings

Steady my sore back, urging me to fall into repose

Blankets envelope my feet and comfort me to a daydream

The keyboard at my fingertips,

Provides the soft melody of clicks that sing me a morning song,

I delicately spill out words that come without thought,

And enjoy the lovely sounds of a morning spent indoors,

A bubble of pure content shields me from any stress tapping on my window,

Cold air is no match to the heat I gather around me

I am a survivor of the holidays,

And I proudly exclaim my victory throughout this joyful daybreak.

I don't believe I've ever read about unwinding the stress after the holidays are over. You usually only hear about the stress while in the chaos. I really like this, because you don't only have a picture of what's going on, but I think most of us would agree that you can feel it, as a large number of people can relate to the feeling of unwinding from Christmas and of the such.

Damn, you're talented haha

This made me laugh! It's well written to be sure, but this message was timely N identifiable. It's odd that so many of us feel like we have survived this crazy time of year.
