30 Days of Gratitude: Day 8

Today I am grateful for sleep, preferable in 8-hour stretches.  I like it all: the magic meanderings of dreamtime, the blissful relief of being unaware for hours, and the mystery of the body's night-time healing rituals.  I am glad that thanks to a little blue pill, I can now sleep for eight hours at a time instead of four, five, or six.  I wake, if not refreshed, at least not exhausted.   Ah sleep.
