Today I had trouble wanting to get out of bed. Not for the usual reasons. Out of thankfulness and wanting the moment to last.
I got this new bed. I have faced the feelings and the emotions and managed to BUY it. The first night was not smooth. And, last night, when I headed to bed exhausted......I was more than a little bit nervous. I was plain scared Uncomfortable. Afraid that I wouldn't sleep again. Wondering if I was going to have to move my little bed into a place so that I could sleep.
But, I took a deep breath. I remembered that a night of sleep loss wouldn't kill me. I prayed. I took more deep breaths. And closed my eyes. And didn't open them again until 4 am. Peaceful. Sleep. And I went back to sleep at four. At 5:30 I just wanted to linger in bed. Resting. Letting that feeling of comfort wash over me.
Sleep is a good thing. A blessing. True rest restores not only the body, but the mind.
I feel thankful. Blessed. Abundantly.
