Hi there, Jen here, and this is a happy bit. Today I'm talking about my bed. Now, don't be afraid. This isn't X-rated. It's very much G-rated. But I have to tell you, my bed is one of my favorite places to be. I love to go there to escape from noise from my six children. I can go in my room and lock the door. The walls of my

room are a nice sage green. The comforter is white and it reminds me of a luxurious hotel.

I climb into bed and I just cuddle. I can look out the beautiful window and see blue skies,

perhaps some fluffy white clouds,

some green trees swaying in the breeze.

And I just like to think, to meditate, to be still, to restore.

Also, after each of our children were born, I spent two weeks in bed.

What a sacred time.

How often do we have the opportunity to just rest

and restore and think. Sadly, many times our poor health situations or a crisis will force it upon us,

but I took that opportunity six times after my children were born and each time was amazing.

I loved it. I've got to figure out a way to make that happen again.

A challenge for you. Spend some time in your bed and relax.

If you can't stand your bed, which I highly doubt that's even possible,

find somewhere you love to go and relax and think. The whole point is to stop doing and just

be and relax. So are you sensing a theme on these happy bits? We as a fast-paced society

really need to take some time to relax and restore.

It's a critical component of happiness.

Let's focus a little less on achieving, a little more time on resting and being.

Find some time in bed.

Rest, relax, or even some other things that you might enjoy.

And we'll talk to you next time.
