Life's Happiest Moment

I've thought hard about it, and have concluded, that the happiest moments of our lives (assuming we continue to be healthy), occur when we lay down, tired and relaxed, to go to sleep.

So, it happens, not on every day, but all of the rest... And it ends-up being the most consistent, persistent, and under-recognized, source of satisfaction in our otherwise busy, harried, monotonous, and sometimes painful, lives.

I have come to this realization not just through logical thought --- but also based on feelings, both physical and emotional, from over a half century of existence.

Doesn't sound very profound (probably in the "duh!" category), but I bet you agree... So, the next you finish your day, and lay down to enter dreamland, think about how good you feel, as the delicious, warm relaxation spreads throughout your tired body. Maybe you watch T.V., or open your imagination with a book... And at the end of it, as you slip into the quiet twilight, is not more stress, but the ultimate healers: rest and sleep.
