Feeling nappy...


Bed. It is where I want to be. I am listening to the rain baring down on the pavement outside my office and I am dreaming. Or wish I was. In my bed.
I love rainy days. Just want to close up my hermit self inside my hermit house and shut out the hustle and bustle of the outside world. Turn off all lights, light some candles play soft music and piddle. Then what? Bed.

I. LOVE. naps. I am a nap girl. If I have time for even just a 5 minute nap I try to take it. Every day I try to get a little recharge with a short slumber. I can wake up and feel as though I have slept for several hours.

I love taking naps with my little girl. She is so soft and cuddly. I call her my warm satiny smooth body pillow. I put my arm around her warm soft waste and lay my head gently on her shoulder, more the pillow supporting me than her shoulder, but I can hear her heart beating and she loves cuddling with mommy. I have taken some of my best naps with her.
So I get off work early today. It's a rainy day so what do you think I am going to do? Clean? No. Laundry? Of course not. Bills? Heck no. I am going to open up my bedroom window, put the ceiling fan on low and listen to the rain's lullaby sooth me to sleep. Now, if I could just keep my face off my desk and somehow pry my eyes open.

You've got a friend...

I have a coupla of select girlfriends that will always be a part of my life. Sistasoulmates. I feel their happiness when they are happy. When they are sad, I cry for them. I pray for them.

I am really feeling for both of my best girlfriends today. They are both experiencing difficult situations right now,both in different ways. I want to fix it all for them. It is out of my hands but I want them to know how much they mean to me and anything I can do to help, I will be there. I don't have much- but I do have two shoulders to lean on and two ears to listen with. One mouth to hopefully speak words of wisdom and offer hope and actions to hopefully give inspiration. As a friend isn't that all we try to do? As women we give every inch of our being to try to take care of others. Especially our families, and our friends.

As always you are in my thoughts and prayers, especially today.
