The last couple of weeks have been wonderful in many, many ways. I got to spend every day with Him while I was off from work. The holidays were fantastic, His family is great, and I got quite spoiled.

He purchased a new mattress for me this week. While I admit I need a new one, this has created an internal struggle for me. I’m so used to taking care of myself, of having to do it all FOR myself. Accepting this from Him feels like giving up another area of control in my life. Yes, He laughs and says that He wants something decent to sleep on. But I know He didn’t do it for His own comfort. It was my need that drove His decision.

So, I’m feeling spoiled in a lot of ways right now. Some of it feels good and some of it is uncomfortable. Isn’t that silly? How can I be uncomfortable by being spoiled?

Because it can be very very awkward....I've never recieved a lot of complements in any way in any form growing up so I find it damned near impossible to accept them at all much less gracefully....

Glad you had a good holiday season - missed you being about

It's hard to give up those last bits of independence.
Even though were married I still fuss over gifts...but love it too!

Enjoy.

Lhi, you hit the nail on the head! It does feel awkward to gracefully accept "things" from Him. Yet I know that this is something for US! I keep trying to wrap my head around it....

Thank you, MsSwanger! And welcome to my blog!

Nan, it is, isn't it? I'm trying to get myself used to the thought that this is how things are going to be....

Thank you, Dreamer! And I hope you had a marvelous holiday season!

Why? Because you think you don't deserve it. You need to get over that really quick, love. xx

Kat, you've really made me think.... Maybe that IS a big part of it. I've never had anyone give me so much and it is difficult to feel like I "deserve" it. I'm going to have to think on that one! Thank you for such wonderful insight!

Pillows? Did he get you new pillows too? Linens? Comforter? Matching draperies? Shams? European Shams? Decorator pillows? Rug? Ottaman? Table lamps? Make sure he finishes what he starts, lol.

Pet, now that it's been bought, I can't wait for it to get here! I wasn't really uncomfortable until I knew a new one was coming....
