“I woke before the morning, I was happy all the day,
I never said an ugly word, but smiled and stuck to play.
And now at last the sun is going down behind the wood,
And I am very happy, for I know that I’ve been good.
My bed is waiting cool and fresh, with linen smooth and fair,
And I must be off to sleepsin-by, and not forget my prayer.
I know that, till to-morrow I shall see the sun arise,
No ugly dream shall fright my mind, no ugly sight my eyes.
But slumber hold me tightly till I waken in the dawn,
And hear the thrushes singing in the lilacs round the lawn.”
– Robert Louis Stevenson [1]

Waking up happy, remembering my prayers and turning my work into play sounds good to me. Today I prune vines and whistle while I work. The fresh air does help us sleep.
Thanks for sharing.

I still say RLS had an excellent Bug Out Location. Tahiti was not too bad a choice!
