The GIFT of a NAP!

A Nap. Sometimes, I just NEED one.

Not always, WANT one. There is just to much to do! But sometimes, somebody, just needs to send me to my room for a NAP.

Last week, my 22 year old son, Levi, was home with me. I was dragging and cranky. Really out-of-sorts. I have no idea why. I just WAS.

About 1:00, he took one look at me, and said, "Mom, you need a nap". Just like that. No disrespect in his voice or authoritative tone.

I came up with all kind of excuses for not taking a "time out" nap. Levi listened, looked at me again, and repeated himself. "Mom, you really need a nap".

So, I did nap. Two whole hours of blissful sleep.

How long can one lay prone, in slumber, and still call it a nap?

I felt so much better when I awoke. Ready to forge ahead with a better attitude.

I even thanked Levi for suggesting it.

The Nap, it is a wonderful gift!
