The news guy just said that the sun isn't coming up til 6:52 am today. I've been up since 3:20 am.
There are at least 2 weeks a month where I don't sleep well. It used to upset me so much as I love sleep as much as I love pretty much anything else in my life. Yet I have grown to love and appreciate this quiet time in the middle of the night. Thoughts are crystal clear. Weird stuff plays on the television. I feel like I am 3 steps ahead of the rest of the world.
Embracing insomnia has changed my life. Instead of being angry about the lack of sleep, I adjusted my thinking to accepting that there is something on my mind that needs to be set free and this time even my great dreams won't do. So I wake up. Sometimes I write, sometimes I just veg out. Most times I fall back to sleep on the couch.
Is there something in your life that you are fighting against that could be turned into something useful instead?
I accept that my body and mind operate on their own systems. I am simply the vessel that holds them both. I won't fight it anymore.
So I'll take the "mind-sunshine" in the middle of the night. Continuing to make the best of an odd situation. Ever creating when I "could" be sleeping.
Work when you must....
Rest when you can....
Love, Always...
