August has felt like a breath of fresh air after some very hectic preceeding months. I met my August goal too - yep - I took a nap every Saturday in August - how divine! I totally noticed a difference in my energy level and over all feeling of well-being. This past Saturday, I sat down on the couch to just take what I thought was going to be a 20 minute nap and I ended up napping for an entire hour. It was funny because it made me realize that I have become so good at pushing through being tired that I almost don't even notice it until I allow myself to sit still for more than a few minutes.
It has felt lovely to really give my body some time to restore and as we move into September (yay for the start of a new month - I love new months and the coming of FALL!) I fully intend to continue this trend of honoring my body. I hope you do the same!!!

So happy for you that you stuck to your nap plan! I love September so much! Can you believe it is already here? Yay FALL!!!!
My favorite line of yours was when you realized you had "become so good at pushing through being tired..."
Let me tell you, I can relate! Motherhood is all about pushing yourself to the limits and I found it both interesting and refreshing to read that it happens to you too! So, please, enjoy those naps for the both of us! :)
