Feel Good: Sleep Glorious Sleep…….zzzzzzzz..........

You wake up suddenly from a deep sleep… You don’t know what woke you up…. Maybe a dream, maybe a sudden sound, maybe you just got too cold? Whatever it may be, you are still groggy, and eyes heavy with sleep, and you know, that all it will take is a couple of seconds for you to fall back into that deep restful sleep again… You snatch a quick look at the alarm clock… One.. no, two more hours for the alarm to go off…. And even in that groggy state, your mind goes, YES!!! Ah, two more hours of blessed sleep left! And off you are, within seconds!

Sounds familiar? Does anyone else feel good about this? I know this is a very simple thing, but hey, it’s a great feeling nevertheless!

Of course, for this to be the absolutely perfect feel good moment, a number of factors have to come together….like:

- There should be at least an hour left for your alarm to go off… Often it has happened that I wake up with about half hour before the alarm goes off, and then I end up waking very five minutes after that, because I am scared of sleeping through it after switching it off!

- You should be able to go right back to sleep, within seconds… Its annoying to wake up, and then take forever to fall back asleep… Hence the “eyes heavy with sleep” condition.

- Preferably, you should be comfortable enough already… I woke up about an hour before my alarm today, but it was the cold that woke me up… It took me some time to get comfy again, before I could really enjoy my sleep again…

Well that’s my first feel good post to get the blog on its way… rather superficial to start with, but like I said, I know at least one other person who has this as one of her good things in life too! :)

I welcome me to blogging :)

First post ever, to get me started with my foray into the blogosphere… I suppose everyone is going to ask “Why blog?” Well, the thought process for this started rather randomly… I was trying to post a comment on a friend’s blog, and it keep taking me the ‘Create your own blog’ part of blogspot… It got me wondering, rather randomly, about starting my own blog J I don’t plan to make this a very personal blog… My cousin had once asked me to make a list of things that make me feel good or smile… I first thought of making this blog for that purpose, as in, post once in a while, about the little and big things that just make one feel good… But then, a little hunting around on the web, showed me a blog on it already, titled 1000awesomethings.com… a pretty famous blog, that’s even given rise to a couple of books! No way my blog is going to compete with that level of awesomeness! So yes, there will be the feel good posts, but then, as I think about it, I am sure posts on random topics will also find their way in here!

I already know what my first ‘feel good’ post is going to be about… Its such a simple thing, really, but I know at least one other person who shares my sentiments! The post should be up by the end of this week, if I figure out the nuances of blogging.

So here it begins….
