"Writers write": I absconded those words from a very old copy of Writer's Magazine, magazines which were being destroyed by the librarians at my local junior high school to make room for the new. (And now young people don't yearn for the periodicals room the way I used to!) Those words have encouraged me over the years -- not "writers write masterpieces" or "writers write daily". Simply, writers write. This blog is for that purpose, and you are welcome to come along!

My Mattress

Many years ago, my dad promised me that I could have his bedroom suite when I graduated college, dressers, bed, mattress, etc.  The furniture was stored in a garage, and alas, the mice got to the mattress.  But my dad and stepmother didn't want me to be without, so they gave me an air mattress to use until I could buy a real one.

Well, let me tell you -- I have never slept so well as I do when I am sleeping on my air mattress!  I can inflate it to the max, and it is firm, but it still gives enough that every pressure point has ceased to exist.  It cushions so well!  I can sleep for four hours before I wake up to turn over, and it is good rest, complete rest, rejuvenating rest.    I don't always get that with a "real" mattress.  This morning I fairly bounded out of bed, well rested and ready to go.

I have a friend who sleeps in a hammock.  She swears by it.  If she feels about her hammock the way I feel about my air mattress, I completely understand!

(If this post seems like a non-sequiter, it is because I was elsewhere for three weeks.  Now I am back home, and I didn't realize how much I missed my air mattress until I had it back!)
