9 Minutes To Sanity
It is 5:30am... you reach over and hit the snooze button, not wanting to move just yet, your partner snuggles a little closer. You now have 9 precious minutes.... do you go back to sleep or do you use them wisely to start your day on a most amazing high.
Maybe you don't live in a area that has cold mornings, maybe your area is warm sun filled mornings. The intention of "9 minutes to Sanity" is that you take advantage of those 9 minutes after you hit the snooze button and when the alarm rings for the second time.
Yes, I know you do it! Everyone does it! Maybe not every morning, but some mornings. I do it especially on those cold mornings when it is much nicer to snuggle with my honey then to get up and hit the shower. This is actually when I was thinking about this, I was thinking about just how great it was to have my partner beside me...
