Too stressed to know how to relax?

Sometimes it stinks having someone know you so well because they know all of your little quirks and faults too. Last night gabe showed me how much of a blessing it really is to have someone know you better than yourself.

I've been really stressed out at work lately with some new projects on my plate and the only other position in children's programs being vacant for a few months now, both causing long days at work. At dinner last night I must have had a glazed over look on my face because gabe kept asking me what I was thinking about or what was wrong. Nothing was wrong I said, but I recognize that I'm pretty stressed out and I wasn't sure what to do to relax.

Gabe gave me a back rub and prepared a bubble bath for me. My muscles relaxed and I entered that mental state of mind where you are aware of everything going on around you and you hear all the sounds but its like you are asleep. It was wonderful, he knew exaclty what I needed when I didn't even have then energy to try and think about it myself. I really love being married to gabe...
