The flannel throw was loosely draped over her bare toes, which twitched ever slightly as if imagining the feel of sandy beaches soon to be explored in the coming spring. Her eyes remained closed as her mind waxed and waned thru inconsequential and mostly trivial thoughts settling finally on what she decided was the one true fact of the moment; that naps were truly a most under rated phenomenon.
