Mondays

Sleep escapes me for the moment in the wee morning hours
typical Monday with too much to do and not enough time

An hour goes by and I still can't get back to sleep.
is there something on my mind that keeps me from sleeping?

Nothing on TV to help relax, so I jumped on the computer,
thinking that a little bit of writing might help.


I should be tired; my muscles were used and abused at the gym.
My trainer is the best:  he worked me very hard, but after
he stretched out my muscles.
I lay on the floor, and he raises my leg, keeping it straight
and gently pushes to stretch the hamstring.  When I reach
the point where its enough, I say so.  He holds that position
until I relax into the stretch, and then stretches just a bit more.
Ahhhhhhhhh.  It feels so good when he releases it.
Then he holds my shoulder to the floor with one hand,
while pushing my knee across my body to touch the floor
on the opposite side.   Snap.  Crackle. Pop ... ahhhhhhhhh
yes, my creaky old body makes a few noise, but boy

does this feel good.

My body feels weightless after his ministrations
and there's a feeling there's nothing I can't do!

I feel as if I could run a marathon!

hehehe... but I didn't.
