Giving Our Body Some Extra Sleep
Put To Rest
Relaxing the body before it is needed
What an odd thought
Going to bed when we are not tired
I tried it as an experiment
Closing my eyes when they wanted to open
Letting my thoughts appear only to disappear
The challenge of all things we know and don't know
I practiced my breathing
I tried to imagine every one of my body parts
Working effortlessly accomplishing all the jobs they are designed to do
After two hours my body eagerly climbed out of bed
All my benefits might not be shown
No signs of stress or tense muscles
A feeling of pleasing myself with no effort
Waking up to the world around me
As if I have just dived into a pool of water
Now I can feel all my senses react
My hearing which was put on pause
Which would of jumped into action
If an alarm was sounded
The beauty of sight
Used every day but never praised
Each foot landing on the floor
My stomach now hungry
My mouth ready to taste each food
To add to my good health
The way my brain cooperates with my body
How they magnificently work as a duet
Each waiting for the proper time to play it's roll
On Q and performing perfectly
Blessed by life
Giving a new meaning
To Thanks-for-giving-me-this-day
Wishing everyone I know and haven't even met yet
A wonderful, healthy and happy Thanksgiving Day

AUTHORGypsy Rose Lee I had a beautiful Thanksgiving and the weather turned out nice too. I find I do better with a routine than having no schedule at all. It is so hard to get that broken sleep and still go back after and sleep more and then feel well rested. You could try setting a schedule and if it didn't work better for you could go back to the way things are now ? I think you will accomplish a lot more in less time. Let me know if you give it a try? It is always nice sharing thoughts and ideas and see where they lead. Happy Sunday.
Hope you and yours had a great Thanksgiving. Who can rest? Tell you about my nightly schedule. I don't worry about what time I go to bed just when I am becoming sleepy. I no sooner manage to get to sleep Sid wants some food. I feed Sid and back into bed. I don't know how long I am sleeping Sid wants out in the wee hours. I get back to bed Sid wants back in. When he finally really sleep at about 9 AM I can sleep uninterrupted but then I have much too much to do and should get up otherwise it already gets dark again at about 4PM and there is no day at all.

Kari Poulsen I look around my home for our cat all the time. Where is she now? I see her napping in the sun. I pull up a chair right beside her and off I go. Thank you sharing and caring. I hope your day is spectacular.
I need more of those "naps". I used to meditate often, but I have gotten out of the habit. I enjoyed this very much. :)
