Mondays...they're a sub-category all unto themselves. I have to always "gear up" for a new Monday. And personally I think every day should be Friday; the relief of having made it through another week--(not sure how that could work out exactly)--and the anticipation of Saturday! But since every day ISN'T Friday, I think we should at least be allowed to ease into Monday. Maybe have like "First" Monday, but with the option of a "Second Monday Do-over" as needed...
What this is all leading up to, is the fact that today I am grateful for naps. When I was working the word "nap" was not a part of my vocabulary; nor did they exist. Just a long ago memory of something decadent and luxurious--like eating a box of chocolates WHILE taking a bubble bath. But with my life-style change the word NAP is part of my daily vocabulary; a necessity in fact, and I just love it! Furthermore, we have a fabulously poofy bed with two--count 'em two--down comforters to "smoosh" into, plus I am the proud owner of a "perfect" pillow--perfect!...poof-smoosh-aaaahhh!
Sometimes I take things for granted; like the fact that water instantly comes out of every single faucet in the house whenever I want it. Or finding myself at home and having a really, really great bed when the word pain becomes part of my vocabulary. So today, after the poof-smoosh-aaaahhh part, and I was starting to drift away, it came to me that I was about to "nap"...and I did!
I remember naps...they tend to go away as you get older.
ReplyDeleteI love naps! Mostly "Sunday afternoon naps." Now that our meetings are Sunday afternoons I often go for a "Sunday morning nap"....wake up and then go right back to sleep!
ReplyDeleteFor a personal secret...when I was in my 20s and working oh-so-hard I would often sneak out into the parking lot and take a nap in the back seat of my car!
At BYU they have these wonderful things called "Ladies Lounges." While there I would sometimes sneak out of the office, into the lounge, cover my eyes with a paper towel and snooze for a while.
Then there was the HBLL (library) nap...drooling on my text books!
Love naps...but I think I have better pillows :-)
