If you know anything about me, you know I am a habitual early-riser. Usually, I'm up and at 'em by 5:30. I feed the pooches, read the newspaper, catch up with e-mail, check around for other news, and read blogs of my friends.
NOT TODAY!!!!!
There is such a heavy dose of fall in the air that I fed the pooches and promptly went back to bed! I told the dogs I was going to meditate, as is my practice. They know those words, and come to my room with me and settle down, sausage-style, on either side of me. As soon as I started to release my mantra, I went into a deep, deep sleep.
When I looked at the clock, it was 8:50! Holy Toledo! I had missed a standing Thursday morning appointment. We've been meeting every Thursday morning at 7:45 for years. Today, I stood her up. Wow.
I've sent a huge note of apology.
And you know what? All I want to do is go back to bed.
Wake up, sleepyhead!
