Remembering Nap Time

I truly believe that a nap is good for the soul. If I could take one everyday I would. I used to try to lay down for 30 minutes everyday but lately I have not. Today I went to work in the morning came home and took a nap. I loved it. Some of it is how much I love my bed. Then there is the dog, Maggie. She loves to nap on the bed and there is something about having her there with me that makes me fall asleep faster. Puppy breathe and a warm animal snuggling into my back or feet.

I had a cat growing up that used to sleep on my pillow or on my head. I adored her. I would fall asleep listening to her purr. if I was relaxing she would come and curl up on my lap and if I was laying on my bed, then I would end up falling asleep listening to her purr and kneed her paws.

The funny thing is that she was deaf, so her purring was incredibly loud. She did everything loud. Walked loud, ate loud and bumped into walls loud. She would fall off things and land on her head. She did not have a sense of balance at all. It sure made for some funny times. So I think that is why sleeping with the dog, or once in a while the cat makes me sleep and think of wonderful times with my childhood cat.
