ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

76 DAYS UNTIL SPRING!
Sunrise:7:55 am
Sunset: 5:12 pm
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
Today is the Festival of Sleep Day. The holidays are over and we are often left with a feeling of exhaustion. It's cold and snowy and time to hibernate. And, why not recharge the batteries as a new year of school and work begins? It's a great day to catch up on a little sleep. Whether its all day, a full 8 hours, or just a power nap, enjoy the day sleeping. Cozy up in bed on the couch, or any other comfortable place.
No day is so bad it can't be fixed with a nap.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY
I have often said that if I could I would hibernate all winter long. I may be up early some days but that is probably because I caught a nap the day before. I think a good sleep is important for good health. I know if I don’t get enough sleep, things certainly don’t go right around here.
'Gonna Be A Bear
In this life I'm a woman. In my next life, I'd like to come back as a bear.
When you're a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep for six months.
I could deal with that.
Before you hibernate, you're supposed to eat yourself stupid. I could deal with that too.
When you're a girl bear, you birth your children (who are the size of walnuts)
while you're sleeping and wake to partially grown, cute, cuddly cubs.
I could definitely deal with that.
If you're mama bear, everyone knows you mean business.
You swat anyone who bothers your cubs.
If your cubs get out of line, you swat them too.
I could deal with that.
If you're a bear, your mate EXPECTS you to wake up growling.
He EXPECTS that you will have hairy legs and excess body fat.
Yup, 'gonna be a bear!

It’s the first Friday of the new year! Make it a fantastic one!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor's book.
Irish Proverb
I have counted at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for this past year and have now reached my 1000 gifts. I'm not stopping, but will continue on counting. There is always, always something to be thankful for.
1280. for a good sleep
1281. for a cozy couch, chair and bed
1282. for a good laugh or two
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Lord, hold our troops in
your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the
selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT's
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
I'm not asleep... but that doesn't mean I'm awake.

I like the Festival of Sleep Day, Ma! Always hard to get out of bed on cool mornings and get the day going, even though we don't have the low temps like you do. I too think I could be a bear, LOL, and hibernate the whole winter away :)
betty
Sleep is something I don't think I ever get enough of Pam. I am a bit of an insomniac and I am always up early, no matter when I have fallen asleep. I would love to be like a bear and hibernate for a time, but I would hate to miss anything, so I guess I will just stay awake for it all! I just love your posts Pam! Happy New Year! xxoo
I hope 2014 proves to be a good year for you and yours!
I love the Bear Story and the cute snowmen... :)
