I did something this morning that I haven’t done in years. And I should feel guilty about it but I don’t!

Richard, no need to ask for forgiveness, when I sleep in (it's rare too) it is usually because I need the extra rest for some unknown reason.

I wish I would have done that today.  My giddie-up-and-go has got up and went!

I was up and at 'em this morning.  Expecting a traveling nurse to come by and do a blood draw and stuff for a life insurance screening.  Imagine my surprise when she was earlier than expected and I had just gotten out of the shower. 

And, amazingly enough, the world is still spinning, the sun still rose, your clients are none the worse for it, and you finally got some much needed sleep!

Try to do that once a week and on those other days when you don't sleep in, you'll feel much better.

When I try to sleep in, I wake up with a headache!  silly, huh?

Sleeping in...one of the pleasures of life. Two and a half hours later is just not enough! Nice sky photo!

Great shot.

The only worse feeling in the world is running late and realizing you left your phone at home.

Should I get it or get it later yes,no,yes,no lol

Enjoy the shorter day

I never use an alarm clock...like you, my body cues me awake every morning.  And I feel GREAT everyday.

Good afternoon Richard,

I'd say your body was telling you something!! Glad you listened!!

I rarely sleep in, but oh does it feel good when I do! No, you shouldn't feel guilty at all, we need it once in a while for sure.

Just this once we will overlook it, Richard.  But don't do it again!

If you never set an alarm clock, you obviously needed the rest. No problem, mon.

I'm another one of those people with a very loud internal clock--I never use an alarm unless I have a very specific reason to be out of bed before 6:00 a.m. And even then, I usually wake up a couple minutes before the alarm is ready to sound.  About once every three weeks I make sure I've got a clear morning schedule and "give myself permission" to sleep in till about 8 or 8:30.  Sometimes I need it, but most of the time, I'm awake on schedule...

Richard.....your body must have known that ActiveRain was down this morning....I was up at my usual 4:00am....got in 3 blogs before daylight!!!!  I wish I could sleep until 5:00am!!!! I don't own an alarm clock.

Richard, you lazy bum!  I can't sleep in or the dog will do something bad on the rug.  That's my alrarm clock!

Congratulations.  I can't remember the last time that I slept that late.

Every once in awhile we need to shut down and rest the body, mind so the spirit can enter.
