Day 1171

Sleeping comes easily to Goldens. They can nap at the drop of a hat! It seems our four-legged family members can drift off without a care in the world and that is such a peaceful snooze.

As the years add up, I find it is easier to drift off whenever I sit or relax…whether I want to or not! For this girl, with a list to complete each day, this is not the plan! I have discovered that a comfortable chair is the worst possible companion for accomplishing the tasks of the day. Naps are not the enemy, but they are certainly not team players!!

Today, I was able to take two long dog walks, visit our beloved friends at Walker, celebrate our 220th wedding anniversary (we celebrate every month…like dog years), mow the lawn and a few other items on the list. Every time I sat down, my eyes wanted to close for a quick nap…not this girl!

My habits lead to early mornings and late nights. However, burning the candle at both ends does not make me more productive. I know sleep is important, but it gets in my way! So compromise is needed. More sleep at night might do the trick! Then, my propensity to snooze every time I sit down won’t impede my need to check off the items on that list!

We shall see!
