Gratitude for my mattress

Most of us know how fortunate we are to have a home, a family, friends, food on the table, people who love us. There are so many things to be thankful for.

What about your mattress? I am so grateful for my Savvy Rest organic mattress and my sleep experience. I have had insomnia for many years. Not the kind where I had trouble falling asleep, Heaven knows. I was always tired so I could always fall asleep. My insomnia was the kind where I woke up too early and couldn’t fall back asleep. Not any longer. Part of that is due to my mattress.

My mattress is beautiful to me. May I tell you why?

It’s safe. It's made of natural materials, not "chemical soup."

It’s soft on top and supportive underneath.

When I lie down on my mattress, I don’t have a care in the world

I might read an inspiring magazine article—like the one on “Receiving” in Ode magazine...or I might read a reflective book such as Food for the Soul.

I never watch TV from my mattress. There’s no TV in my bedroom.

My partner of 25+ years will join me later in bed. I’ll probably be asleep by then.

In this moment I have everything I want and need. A warm spot, my spot.

In this moment I am king. No ruler or leader has more.

No one in this world has ever had more.

My space, my time, my mattress, my experience. A divine experience.

I anticipate a night of fantastic sleep. Peace, contentment, fulfillment.

Life doesn’t get better than this.
