Wishing it was a PJ Day

REST...

Something that I need more of.
Something I haven't gotten a lot of lately.
Something I wish I could have right now.
Something I am thankful for.

Today is "Thankful Thursday" and I have to say I'm very thankful for rest...when I get it. Lately my sleeping schedule has been off. I am usually in bed at an early time and get about 9 hours of sleep, or more on a good night! I'm not sure if it's because I'm so busy, or that fact that I want some moments to myself before going to bed, but I have not been getting enough rest recently.

Well, I miss it.

My body is mad at me and I think I may be going through some withdraws...I feel exhausted!

I found this poem and really enjoyed it....I wish I was having a "PJ Day"!

PJ Day

How lovely to stay in pajamas this way
Having a specially off kind of day
I've been writing and singing and dreaming of play
So today is a perfectly wonderful day.

I'm listening to little cat's snores
I'm dreaming of Oregon's shores
I'm ignoring insistent chores,
and imagining possible doors

Wiggling my toes and reading a book,
Finding old letters and taking a look.
Being so cozy in my little nook
I love every single moment I took
Simply to be,
simply to see
simply to free
this simple me. 

The day may be gray, and just a bit dark,
The landscape may still be looking quite stark,
and there's reasons aplenty, to grich and to snark,
to complain and to grumble, to scowl and to bark.

But I think I prefer a satisfied smile,
as I think and peruse and meander a while,
wander a bit, sort through a pile
Dressed to the hilt, in my very own style.

how lovely to stay in pajamas this way
having a specially off kind of day
I've been writing and singing and dreaming of play
So today is a perfectly wonderful day.
