Aamused in Austin, TX

Tonight I am reminded.

I am reminded that I have much to be thankful for, even in the midst of emotional chaos

Today I was reminded of the sensation of being held and surrounded in concern, friendship, comfort and love

Today I was allowed to just be

Today I was given the pampering I won't give to myself

Today I was reminded not to be so hard on my self

Today I was reminded that I am not alone

Today I was reminded what it feels like to be touched and soothed

Today I was reminded what it feels like to be alive

Today I was reminded that others find me desirable

Today I was reminded what it feels like to be aroused

Today I was reminded that others don't mind if they see me cry

Today I was reminded that "I don't know" is acceptable

Today I was reminded that someone I love and trust knows what I need even when I'm saying its not what I want

Today I was reminded I am loved
