Everyday this week I have told myself that I was going to take a nap sometime during the day and so far, I have not taken one. I tended to get wrapped in something else and never got around to one. Yesterday besides laundry, it was a good book I had been reading on my Kindle that I finished. Today I need to go up on Amazon and get the last in the series. There are three books in the series, I've read two so far.
Maybe today I'll finally get around to taking that nap, I didn't sleep too well last night. If I do, it's got to be before 3:00. I want to watch "The Doctors" then. Barry Manilow is going to be on. I've always liked him, but hate to say, when I saw a preview of the show yesterday, he didn't look as if he was aging that well, but maybe it has to do with what he's going to talk about on today's show.
The pups are all taking naps now. I'm sure the cats are too. Max is laying close enough to me here on the couch so that I can scratch the top of his head when I want. He doesn't seem to mind either. The other three are in various parts of the living room. All are snoozing away, oblivious to what is going on around them. All look so content, even Max here on the couch.
We people can sure learn a lot from dogs. Most of us are so busy running around like chickens with our heads cut off, worrying about how things are going in our lives, sometimes not showing enough attention and affection to the people we hold dear. We need to learn, like dogs, it's okay to let life just slow down for awhile, let the people we love know that we love them, and to take a nap once in awhile. I think we'd all be happier for it and so will our loved ones. Don't you agree?
Hope you all have a great day and are able to slow down and maybe take a nap too. If you have a dog or cat, take a little time to scratch the top of their head too. You'll both feel happier for it.
