Day 88: Napping

I can't remember if I liked to nap when I was a little kid.  I remember never being able to take a nap in college, and that seemed to be the time everyone else LOVED naps.  I guess I always thought that napping was a waste of time.  The few times I did nap I would always wake up and feel like I had wasted a whole day.  I also could never fall asleep at a normal time if I had napped during the day.  

Lately, something has changed.  It could be that I'm trying to give up the notion that every minute needs to be spent doing something productive.  More likely, I'm just getting older.  I know I'm not that old; but apparently I can now nap during the day and still be asleep at a normal time.  The past few Saturdays I've taken a nap.  It's ranged from a half hour to almost 2 hours.  It hasn't been planned every week (today it was), but I'm really starting to love this new version of Saturday.  I am grateful for the naps I have had and the naps to come.
