There is nothing, nothing I say, as wonderful as crawling into a bed with nice clean linens. The smell of dryer sheets, the cool sensation on the pillow, the general cozy feeling – if I go to heaven, I anticipate that it will be like my bed on laundry day.
I am also a big fan of sleep. Whether that is the chronic depression talking or just a simple appreciation for naps, I thoroughly enjoy sleeping. My big treat to myself on my days off from work is to take a nap. I adore naps – curling up with a good book or movie, a blanket, and one of my cats on my lap. My absolute favorite time of day is that moment when you climb into bed, stretch out, and completely relax. Often, that is the first time all day that I’ve gotten to just relax my muscles and my mind. And I will just lay there and listen to the thunder and rain (if not natural, then from the CD I bought – best $5 I ever spent!) and enjoy the peace. I am never more at peace than when I can set aside reality and enter Dreamland.
I can go anywhere or be anything in my Dreamland. I can travel to exotic locales or visit my family back home, I can revisit happy moments from my past or see old friends once more, I can experience wild and exciting times that I will never have otherwise. Dreamland is a wonderful place – I can be and do anything – no costs, no consequences, no regrets. Don’t believe me? Then I invite you to visit me in Dreamland…
My feelings exactly! I love Sunday night because I’ve got fresh from the dryer sheets on the bed. Two purring cats snug up against me and I’m off to wherever my subconcious decides is the place to be that night.
Thanks for sharing!
A rain soundtrack, I want one! Sleeping when the rain is pouring is the best!
