Warm blankets--good sleeping! (Tomasito, photo)Thanks for the warm, woolly serape, Bro Jack, and thanks for the $3.00 warm blanket "The Attic" shop!
Sleeping Warm
Sleeping warm is Very Good.
I have pilgrimmed a lot in my life--and sometimes that meant sleeping rough--sometimes very rough.
I have slept outdoors miles from any shelter in cold and driving rain.
Once---only once, thank goodness--I slept in a frozen field in snow as more snow fell with only an old coat for warmth.
I have slept in barns with cows--Very Nice!
And I have slept under freeway bridges--Noisy.
But when I am not pilgrimming and when I have a choice--give me a warm, dry bed with lots of warm covers.
That's what I REALLY like!
The Dalai Lama--who ought to know--says the purpose of life is to be happy and life yields quite a few possibilities for happiness.
But for me--NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING--beats waking up on a freezing cold morning--the kind where your breath is visible as steam--in a nice, warm bed.
