One day last week, I decided to take a lite nap just before dinner. I turned the TV on just to have a little noise in the background and found myself nodding off in less than the usual 5 minutes it takes. Twenty minutes later l was awake, my back was killing me from laying on the couch, legs stiff from hanging over the side of the couch so not to get the couch dirty from my shoes. I was more tired, felt lousier than before I started the nap and totally out of sinc. That's when I finally asked myself........"myself, why did I ever take that nap" I really feel tired.now.This brings me to another part of the day. Morning........oh what a glorious part of the day, just to be able to feel your eyelashes s l o w l y separating letting in a hazy start of daylight little by little, feeling the warmth of the bed covering close to my stretching body. STRETCH stretch .... legs reaching for the end of the bed. My feet wanting to point my wiggling toes even further that I know they can go. Slowly rotating my feet, first in a simultaneously same circle direction and then each foot turning into opposite directions simultaneously ...........ah what a glorious feeling..........my arms stretching reaching for the ceiling.......it's like..........like my whole body is waiting to feel the start of the day, poised to be lifted out of bed and my feet touching the softness of plush carpeting caressing almost hugging my feet as I stand preparing my whole body for the first movement forward. AH what a glorious feeling. That first step, a Little wobbly but well worth it, heading for the bathroom turning on the shower water while I relieve your body of liquids stored up over the past 7 hours, slowly stepping into the rushing cold water but now feeling it getting warmer and warmer....................goose bumps now gone as you lean into the stream of water and feeling the warm water hitting my head and quickly rolling over my whole body. The occasional squirt of the liquid soap being released by the automatic soap dispenser. Finally rubbing shampoo into my hair and feeling it running down my body......................oh what a feeling. Just standing and feeling the water splashing on my face and quickly reaching my feet. I have the feeling that...........what's the rush to leave this................but I know that on the other side of the shower doors awaits the heavy terrycloth towel and the heat lamps to dry my body.............oh heaven. After this the day awaits for me. The rest of the "waking up" is about to begin. Now dried and almost fully awake, I let the final stage begin. Smell, the richness of the Arabic beans brewing my first cup of the day. A rich black cup of Zoegas (Swedish) coffee today, two eggs sunny side up, two slices of crisp bacon and one slice of lightly buttered Jewish rye bread. What more can one person possibly ask for. I better pinch myself just to confirm I have feeling. Now to check to see if this was just a dream. Open the newspaper to the obituary. Lets see now. Rizzo, Rizzo, Rizzo, nope not listed let the balance of the day begin.
As I look out the window onto my deck, I can see that it is still to early in the season to enjoy my breakfast and my paper there. I must admit, once those days arrive, Seattle the rain capital of the USA turns into heaven on earth. The spot for all my serious thinking takes place on my deck and many of the world's problems are solved there.
It's always so much fun to find and publish a video of some sort. Here is one that may put some people off but let me say, NO ONE WAS HURT............it's just funny.
