\"Thankful<\/a>I’ve learned that if I don’t get the sleep I need, my body takes the sleep I need–most frequently when I’m behind the wheel.<\/p>\n

As a result, I’ve learned to listen to the warning signs telling m it’s time to pull over for a nap.<\/p>\n

I take quite a few of those naps since I’m now commuting three days a week–and more often than not have an added weekend trip too.
<\/p>\n

This week, I’m thankful for…<\/strong><\/p>\n

…cell phone alarms<\/b> I can set for 20 minutes<\/p>\n

…a seat that reclines<\/b> almost horizontal<\/p>\n

…a little pillow<\/b> that hangs out in my trunk (except when it hangs out in my back seat<\/p>\n

…a warm blanket<\/b> that eases the unexpected Thursday night chill<\/p>\n

…a convenient commute for pull-off parking<\/b><\/p>\n

There’s a little town about every 10-15 minutes along my usual commute from Columbus to Grand Island and back. Which means I’m usually close enough to make it to one of them. Once inside town, I can pull off on any number of parking lots (or even just along a side street) for my nap.<\/p>\n

Of course, I’m also VERY thankful that I have a cozy bed with pillows and blankets (even an electric one-useful for when Anna needs AC upstairs but it makes it too cold for me downstairs :-P). <\/p>\n

Sleep. It’s good.<\/p>\n

I’m thankful God has given me the grace to sleep off the road rather than on it–thankful that I and the many other drivers on Highway 30 are alive (and unharmed).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
