@kittengirl,

Top of the morning to you and the kitties. I hope you are enjoy your great Garage. 🙂

I am hoping the weather is cooler for everyone. Hang in there those kitties can be
a handful. 🙂 Hello Bull. 🙂

Fruits of summer.

@taci,

Enjoy your quick trip to AZ. I have a call into my sister and she is very busy. The corporation
she works for is moving everyone to Phoenix, AZ. This is not her choice. Sis is looking to
buy a house somewhere in AZ. We never saw this coming.

Enjoy the scenes and trails where ever you go. Happy Trails. 🙂

@bichon18,

Good Morning to you and Jerry. Here’s to a beautiful day in Florida.
I hope you enjoyed your movies last night. 🙂

Poppy sends hugs from me to you and little Ari. 🙂 Amy very warm here for now then
more storms the rest of the week. This is recycle day and I am finding anything I can
to put out to be recycled.

I am thanking god everyday that my sister is feeling better pain wise. I don’t want my
Mom to worry or my father.

So you enjoy your exercises and I know you feel great. 🙂 Go Amy!

Take a dip in this. Enjoy! 🙂

Natural Cycles of Sleep

Our bodies are naturally encoded to respond to light and dark – sleeping with the rhythms of Mother Nature.

The human body evolved to fall asleep soon after the descent of night’s curtain and to wake with the appearance of the dawn. Sleep cycles were governed by patterns of light and darkness for thousands of years, meaning that for much of history, humanity has enjoyed nine of more hours of sleep each night. Our bodies are naturally encoded to respond to light and dark and sleeping with the rhythms of Mother Nature. In the present, artificial light has changed the way we schedule our day-to-day lives, and most of us slumber for less than seven hours at a stretch. It is possible, however, to come back to natural sleeping cycles by making a few small changes. When our bodies and minds are attuned to the world’s natural rhythms, we feel calmer, more centered, and more energetic while awake. Sleep is more satisfying because we afford ourselves more than enough time for restoration and rejuvenation.

Our reliance on indoor lighting further compounds our disassociation from the natural cycles of light and darkness that would otherwise preside over our sleep. You can mimic the passage of the day by changing the quality of the light. Sleeping without heavy drapery or shades is best so you can wake up with the sun. If sleeping by a window without a curtain is not an option, a dawn simulator lamp imitates the sun by growing steadily brighter with the coming of the height of morning.

You will likely discover that changing your sleep patterns to be in sync with the daily cycle of light and darkness is easy and that you feel more alive when your sleeping and waking rhythms are in alignment to those of the earth. Nature’s own phases will be your guide to wellness, granting you more waking hours in the summertime when you will benefit greatly from spending time outside and ensuring you get plenty of sleep in the winter when you likely need it most.

Good Morning Cherie my kids have had summers like that. I love the look on the little
darlings face. 🙂 Give them some fruit and yogurt and that will put a smile on their faces.

Cherie you have a wise mother. Love her and yes I will be watching Mr. James. 🙂 I wonder
what the TS will be. I can’t wait to see him. I saw bits and pieces of last night show. I will
cover him tomorrow for sure. 🙂

Cherie how are you holding up? There is a lot of planning that goes with being on Vacation.
I know the kids are excited. Are the kids Toy Story Fans because that will start Friday. 🙂
If not pop in their favorite Video and let them stay cool.

Food for thought. 🙂 Cherie in a few days it will be special for your mom. 🙂

Here is a dip of summer fruit. 🙂
