Recently, we had some landscaping done in our yard. New bushes, some flowering plants, and small trees were planted.

Once again, I find myself watering plants.

Watering can be grueling and time consuming. Standing over these bushes with a hose, making sure to get all of the ground around them wet and making sure not to miss one.

Sorry to leave you hanging in the last post…but sometimes a writer needs a pause. :)

So, where were we?

Yes, I was on the bathroom floor begging God to let the earth cave in so that I would not have to speak at this women’s Christmas dinner.

The earth did not cave in. Unfortunately.

This morning, I woke up and did not want to rise.

A couple of years ago, my husband and I bought a new mattress. It was way past due for a new one.

We had been sleeping on our old mattress since 1998. Yes, you read that right.

Well, mattresses have come a long way since the late 90’s. A LONG way!

The problem with our new mattress is that it is often “too comfortable”.

Often, it makes us want to stay in bed….it is comfortable, warm, safe, and enticing.
