Vacation starts......NOW

I was given, about a year ago, a one hour relaxation massage at the local massage therapy center. I figured, finally using that certificate would be a great way to start off my vacation. It is sad to think it has taken me over a year to use the gift, but it means even more getting to use it just days before our trip. Who knew I had that many painful spots all over my body. Every where she touched felt like a bruise. But, wow, was it worth it in the end. The only thing that would make it better, would be a hot tub and a margarita now that I am home. I have not felt this good, all over, since I don't know when. It was worth the fear of the hour, naked, under the blanket and the fear of someone touching me for that length of time. I feel so good right now, I feel I could face anything. It is amazing. I need to look into doing this more often. When she was working on my spine, she couldn't believe how tight it was. She had to stop and cover me all over with hot packs while she worked on my legs. Then she went back to my spine. Well it worked. She said she was able to get it loose, but that I needed alot of work. Dah. She kept saying, just relax. I finally told her, I often feel the only thing holding me together is my tension. There you go, the type A personality rearing its ugly head. But I am tension free right now, feeling fine, and only days from my relaxing vacation. So next time you want to send a gift to someone, think relaxation massage. Even if it takes them a year to use it, they will love you for it. I think I hear my vacation calling my name. Got to go pack.
