The Delicious Sleep Feeling

My wonderful brother in law has been with us for the holiday and will stay through the weekend, the kids get so excited

Since last Tuesday afternoon I have been a bit off, nothing horrible, but a headache that wouldn't go away, my digestive system not working so good.  I was thinking if it was something I ate, or someone I had come in contact with, but nothing came to mind.  Today is the first day that the headache is gone, but I still feel off, I am so blessed to usually feel amazing all the time, so when I don't feel 100% I literally feel drugged, zoned, dazed, and completely out of it.  I think it is a mix of motherhood, not sleeping because of kids, and maybe the weather, these winds that we have really make me dry, the throat, the skin, even my baby has had a bad cough and all the doctor said was to get a humidifier.

This morning I went to take Yoga with my teacher, I had to be careful because my ankle is still not healed, and I am also a bit out of it, but it was nice to just be doing something for me, and at the end of class when we lay down on our back for the final resting pose, I felt a wave of yumminess, that feeling the delicious sleep feeling, when your body is so happy to be exactly where you are, relaxed, and drifting off.  Not the so exhausted you crash and pass out feeling, or oh its bedtime I better get to sleep feeling.  I don't know where it oozes out of, is it the throat or the heart, but it is very oozy, and it warm and a light burning sensation, I just love that.

Some people do not need much sleep to operate, some people are workaholics or focused on a goal and say they can sleep when they leave this world.  Nope, for me sleep is one of  the pleasures of life, my medicine, I miss my naps so much.  Tomorrow is the day that I get just me time and just nap time, thanks to my husband taking the kids to synagogue.

I am so looking forward to that delicious, quiet, refreshing, soothing rest,
Shabbat Shalom,
