The joy of a full night of sleep is appreciated only by those who seldom experience one.
I remember 24 years ago waking up one morning and realizing that our baby daughter had slept through the night for the first time. She was somewhere between six months and one year old. It felt so good to be really rested.
This morning I awoke and felt the same way. I don’t know how long it has been since I slept eight hours without waking up. I did last night. I turned off the light at an early 8:51 p.m. The alarm went off, like always, at 4:51 a.m. No waking moments in between. Wonderful!
The only explanation I can give is that yesterday, I went on a 30-minute walk and jog. Nothing hard at all. No sweat. But it felt so good to excercise again.
I want more of this.
Yay! Ok, you insprired me too. I was thinking of backing off of my run today because I’ve gotten into bed so late all week – thought maybe I could sleep in on Saturday instead and run then. But that’s just the beginning of a slippery slope for me that would end in my quitting altogether, so I’ll go ahead today and get it over with.
Good job on your getting out and doing something healthy!
Mole…
Great advice and may I add ?
Meditation and massage, we all need the spirit and human touch… works for me… t.f.
You bring up human touch. This has been a big deal for me for years, in fact I’ve preached a sermon on numerous times from John 1. I may may boil down that sermon to a blog entry.
Hey Mole…
Seriously…
A subject desparately needing promotion.
Bring it on, I can’t wait to read it!
