My favorite things Monday – Sunday afternoon naps!

Ahhh..… those sweet words read by Moses along with the other nine commandments on top of Mount Sinai… “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.”  (Exodus 20:8)  I think Moses was reading those words to me!

I love Sundays because it’s the only day of the week that I commit mysef to relaxing and resting.  Now, sometimes my resting involves a long bikeeride or running (literally), but I find that to be very relaxing and it sure helps make that Sunday afternoon nap just a bit sweeter.  I try really hard not to work on Sundays – no lawn mowing, not cleaning, no laundry (if I can help it).   It’s just a complete day of rest for me.  I usually go to church on Saturday nights, so most Sundays I don’t even put on makeup.  I respect the Sabbath day.

My kids and I either have a big breakfast on Sundays or a nice dinner in the dining room (depending on whether.not they are with me for the weekend).  But, regardless of our activities, I always manage a quick little happy nappy.  Sometimes I sleep for ten minutes.  Sometimes I sleep for an hour.  I just know one thing – without my nap I am grumpy!    

Sweet dreams!
