Sweet Sleep

Day Eighteen (on day nineteen): Today I am posting twice about gratitude because last night I didn't get back out of bed to post my thanks. I was sleepy and comfortable and tired (for me sleepy and tired are not at all the same thing, in case you are wondering). I decided not to be so strict on myself. I thought about what I was thankful for and decided I could let myself go to sleep. I hope you don't feel let down. ;) Last night, I was thankful for sleep and rest. I figured I had a chance to prove it by enjoying my opportunity to sleep so comfortably. I slept well.

Thank you, God, for sleep, this period of rest and rejuvenation every night. I am especially thankful that I sleep well. I've known (and know) too many people who struggle with sleep. It is a miserable struggle that I do not envy. Thank you, God, for sparing me this trial thus far in my life. Thank you, God, for reenergizing me after a good night of sleep. I am able to be a morning person because of good sleep and I love being a morning person.

Ahhhh, sweet sleep. I look forward to meeting you again tonight.


What's this about? I decided on my birthday to make a commitment to being intentionally thankful. I challenged myself to post one thing I am thankful for everyday this year.
