Honoring ‘Nothing Day’ by Napping!

Today is “Nothing Day”. Yes, it truly is an official holiday! I marked it on my calender and got to thinking about what Nothing Day meant for me. A day of nothing…what would I do? I would do my most favorite thing…take a nap!!
That got me to thinking about a variety of things.
First, how naps are viewed. I have always been a nap taker. I love naps and believe they are very beneficial in a lot of ways. But, I am laughed at or chastised by my love of naps. Well, actually, society is finally seeing the value in a little power nap-snooze time. Other countries have honored it and some make it mandatory. But us go-go-go Americans can’t seem to wrap our brains around stopping what we are doing and getting some shut eye. Heck, many can’t even get 8 hours of sleep at night!
But, corporations are seeing the light (night) and allowing employees a little downtime.
The statistics are out about how it can increase productivity and creativity.
The fact is that when we sleep we are merged back in with our higher self. We are at one, we are whole. And we get messages that answer the questions and problems we are facing at the moment.
If I feel blocked or stuck in regards to my work, I’ll take a nap. I’ll ask a question about how to proceed, then go snooze. Wasted time? Absolutely not! It is regenerative, and restorative!
We give those folks who tune out and are caught ‘daydreaming’ a hard time, but they are one up on us!
So…for today…”Nothing Day” I am celebrating and honoring the powerful and wonderful NAP TIME with a couple new designs:
A beautiful goddess floats among fluffy clouds, butterflies join her as she floats into dreamland….ah….beauty sleep with so many benefits! The quote, “I Nap, I dream, therefore, I am awake”, says so much!
(These designs can be viewed on a variety of products here )
This next design has an art nouveau feel with a vintage image of a woman in bed. Again, referring to the wonders that a nap provides! Can’t deal with things anymore? Take a nap, you’ll be amazed at how differently things look when you wake up. 
*Yawn* Well, I feel a snooze comin’ on…after all, today is Nothing Day! Sleep tight……:)

Hi. Michelle sent me.
For some reason, naps don’t refresh me. If I take a nap it wrecks me for the day. Yes, my family thinks it’s strange too.

There are days when I wish I lived in South America or Europe. They get the concept of siesta…our bodies need it.
Great point!
