One of the most valuable things we have in life is touch. There is something about being touched in a loving way that really heals you. I used to like getting my feet tickled. Someone asked me how I could stand it. I really liked it. I really like the sensation of fingers barely touching my skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a child, of course, my mom would rub my back or my arms. And then there were the sleepy glasses. A tradition passed down from grandma to mom. This is making circles around the eyes and around the ears to make imaginary sleepy glasses. They are meant to help a little one get to sleep. In a way, they did. It was so relaxing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After my mom had her stroke, I would gently touch her face. I know how much she liked it. She would close her eyes and relax and say, “Your touch”. It was hard to stop. It was such a simple thing to do, but it meant so much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even our pets like it. When you hold your pet’s head in your hand and give a gentle touch about the face, you can see how much it means. And for dogs don’t forget the butt rub. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Problem is that I am all alone. There is no one here to provide any touch anymore. So, I have to do it myself. Sometimes I will touch my arm ever so lightly to have that sensation. Sometimes I do the sleepy glasses. It’s better when someone else it there to do it. But you do what you have to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don’t take any loving touch for granted. When it is gone, it is gone. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
