Dear Friends,
Pillows—as lifeless as they are—sure live a full life! Although their function changes as we grow older (from pillow fight to pillow talk), they remain one of our most cherished items. No wonder we choose them with such care and become so attached to them.
Pillows support our head, back and feet. They hear our nocturne whispers, and peer at our dreams and nightmares. At times, they muffle the sound of our emotions. Sometimes we hug them, sit on them, punch them and sometimes we might even bite them! Through it all, pillows remain calm and forgiving.
Pillows' fancy cousins, cushions—every sofa’s soul mate—have a more glamorous lifestyle - they get to sit, pretty and hang out with company!
As lifeless as they are, pillows and cushions certainly add a lot to our life. I sure am grateful for my four pillows and seven cushions!
Have a cushy day everyone!
Absolutely charming. You have such a way with word! I went home tonight and looked at my pillows in a grateful way!
