Today’s topic: the crisp feeling of new bed sheets.
I love the first night you sleep on your freshly washed bed sheets. Pulling back the, in my case, many pillows.. folding over the comforter.. folding over the sheets… dipping your toes, then legs into the almost airless sandwich of blankets… I’m not sure if anyone agrees with me here but I love settling in new sheets. It’s like I’m sleeping in a hotel every night!
On the topic of beds, I tend to fall asleep within three to five minutes when my head sinks into my pillow. I have only a few minutes to think and pray before my unconsciousness kicks in. Yes, I’ve guiltily fallen asleep way too many times in prayer.. which is why I have to pray before I sit in my bed sometimes. But I kind of find this as a blessing. I’m not tossing and turning (thankfully!) but rather sinking into a wonderful sleep.
And I sleep even better when I have new sheets.. like tonight. :)
