I took a nap this afternoon. In another lifetime, actually less than ten years ago, I napped fairly regularly. But more recently I've tried to limit my naps to an "as needed" basis -- usually when I have a horrible cold or headache.
Today I literally couldn't keep my eyes open. G was getting ready to take the Civic for an oil change and would be gone for at least an hour and I had planned for leftovers for dinner. There wasn't anything that needed my immediate attention, so I decided to take a nap.
Almost two hours later, I woke up feeling refreshed. A nap was just what I needed.
I am thankful for the renewal that sleep brings, whether it's a quick little catnap, a longer midday siesta, or a full night's sleep. God definitely knew what He was doing (doesn't He always?) when He created day and night -- a time for activity and productivity and a time for inactivity and rejuvenation.
