Grandmother Wisdom

When I don't get a full night of sleep I feel like an observatory with my head open to the stars. I used to think my need for sleep was a weakness, like my desire for food, chocolate, coffee, or meat! Instead of listening to my body I would reinterpret or ignore the signals. In my fiftieth year I realize it is helpful not hazardous to trust your body's wisdom. Happiness comes from listening to your body, even when you wish it were telling you something else! My body carries grandmother wisdom within me.
