Regenerating

May 8, 2009 

Today for the first time in a while, I had a nap in the afternoon. 

I’m really trying to balance my new-found energy and activity on the net, with getting adequate rest and regeneration. 

Man, it’s hard. But worth it. 

This time last year, I had just stepped up to a new energy level. I no longer needed a morning nap of 2 hours. 

I “only” had to lay down for 2 to 3 hours in the afternoon.

Then after dinner, I would lay down in bed with a book for the rest of the evening.

 This was a great breakthrough at that time. 

These days, I try to have some quiet time for an hour or so in the afternoon, but it’s normal to be able to be up in the evenings. Sometimes I’ll watch TV with Al in the living room, sometimes I write emails and work on the net for 3 to 4 hours. 

I sleep like a regular person all night and wake up feeling only half-wonky for the first hour or so, and then I’m usually up for running some errands or getting some shopping done. And I am NOT exhausted when I come home (usually). 

THAT is a blessed change.
