(a summer sunset)
Every morning, I read Sarah Ban Breathnach's Simple Abundance daily entry. Today, Sarah suggests that what every woman wants is a nap. I'd argue that for me, not so. I. am.just.not. a. nap.taker -rarely will I lie down, let alone get under the covers for an afternoon nap. When and if I have, it's been because I am sick...and that's rare, too.
About 3 PM, especially on good weather days, I much prefer to take a walk to Zeke's for coffee and a sit on the Avenue (aka US Route 1), listen to a podcast or music. If I'm out, a stop at Starbucks for tea - both my journal and iPad are my constant companions. Some days I will take a longer than usual walk through the neighborhood to and through the park...and soon, I plan to add the library's new rooftop perch to my list of places to go. And if , for any number of reasons, I don't leave the house, I will sit in my chair with either a good book or my stitchin.'
I know naps are restorative and come highly recommended. Right now I feel I could take a nap - it's 7:10 pm and I've already been up 12+ hours. Maybe I'll go downstairs, sit in my chair, watch the football game with Norman...and promptly fall asleep. No doubt he's aready napping...
Cheers~
