(Well, sometimes it is.)With no pun intended, I was DOG TIRED today! With the celebration of Independence Day on Monday and the start of the Summer II session beginning tomorrow, I found myself in the situation of needing to complete at least 32 hours of quality employment within 3 days. Although it is nice to claim that you were the first to arrive and the last to leave on a workday, sometimes it's just not the greatest decision. My level of functionality was just enough to safely drive both my wife and I home, through something together to eat for dinner, and to finally crash for the 3o minutes that I had initially allotted for meditation.
Knowing that my ability to maintain any sort of presence when I'm extremely tired prompted me to weigh the benefit of a 30 minutes power nap over 30 minutes of meditative practice. To me, it just wouldn't make sense attempting to bring my mind to a state of awareness when I could barely form full sentences in conversation with my wife. It was actually her beckoning to rest and skip meditation this evening that brought me to my conclusion for this day.
So in heeding not only my wife's plea, but also the advice of my peers through past forum posts, I elected for a nap over meditation. Hopefully it was enough to dissuade the visitor of sluggishness from visiting in the days ahead.
Lucky me! Now it's time for bed!
