...naps...

Remember when your mom used to say that one day you'd long to take a nap? Little did you know then, she was so right!

After spending the week dodging giant machines and living, eating and sleeping in our bedroom, I have developed a bit of cabin fever. I've been staying up late into the night, dancing in the small confines of our room, only to crash in the wee small hours of the morning. Sadly, my body still wants to wake up at 6am, which has made me one overly exhausted little lady.

So today, I took a nap, simply because, I can.

I took a nap for the first time mom who is rocking her newborn late into the night in a feeble attempt to induce sleep.

I took a nap for the dad who lays awake at night worrying about and praying for his teenage children and their future.

I took a nap for the teacher who spends her weekends grading papers and reading reports.

I took a nap for little kids that are too tired to fall asleep, or too excited exploring life to care about sleep.

I took a nap for the single parent working two part time jobs to create a better life and opportunity for his/her kids.

I took a nap for the doctors, firemen, police officers and emergency workers who dedicate long hours to taking care of others.

I took a nap for all of us - and it was glorious!

Seize the moment while it's yours!
