Night before last what a crummy amount of sleep I got! I do have to say though that yesterday afternoon you would have found me splayed on the living room couch in full winter sunshine taking a much needed nap. There is something delicious about a nap in the middle of the afternoon. The sun was so warm on me and the book I had been reading was quickly put aside as I could no longer keep my eyes open.
That's one nice thing, well, maybe 2 so far about being retired. Number one was the ability to turn my alarm clock for more than just the weekend. Now, I find that that being able to take an afternoon nap, if I so choose is so relaxing. I think I read somewhere that it is healthy and good to take a nap mid-afternoon. I wonder if I should keep up with that habit.
I'm trying to get a schedule going for myself so that I don't turn into a slovenly bum. I plan to exercise daily, write daily, Facebook daily, hopefully paint and more important than that I want to learn to relax. Learning to relax is not as easy as it sounds. Meditation, not medication, is what I want!
Needless to say, I slept much better last night which gives me a better outlook on what I hope to do during this time of reinvention. :)
