Insomnia.  When I have nights where I'm not sleeping, I am really appreciative of sleep and rest and relaxation. When I was in my teens, I would try to stay awake and never could do it.  I was envious of my friend who complained of insomnia. then in college when insomnia happened to me a couple of times, I realized that it was not staying awake to get more done.  It was a desperate feeling for sleep because I was having trouble functioning.  Thinking is hard and unfocused.  The world seems foggy and weird, like it's off-kilter or the color is off.  Even physical functioning is a struggle because I feel my muscles screaming for rest to repair.  My digestion is funky and I don't want to eat.  So, I used to imagine that I would get a ton more projects completed if I had insomnia and now the reality is that I can barely do much more than stare at the wall and it takes me even longer to do basic tasks.  Here's to releasing what is blocking me from restful sleep.  Love and Light.

I didn't sleep well last night.  In my dream I was trying to check into a hotel so that I could lay down and sleep.  There were lots of people in my dream.  And it was during a film festival.  When I finally got into a hotel room, I couldn't get the owner out of the room, she kept wanting to talk to me because I was so interesting.  I woke up with a head and neck ache, which are still sore.  Weird.  Life is an adventure, and so are my dreams.  Love and Light.

There's a difference between feeling sleepy and feeling exhausted.  Yesterday and so far today, I feel exhausted.  Where is the energy that recharges as it flows through me.  I very much want to live in a natural setting.  A house out in the country, or mountains with trees all around.  I'm in a 4th floor condo building with asphalt all around.  Sounds like I'm telling myself to take a walk through a park today.  To open up and let energy flow through me.  To take a nap.  Love and Light.

I am grateful that it is Sunday morning. My event yesterday went beautifully. Everybody had a great time and so did I. Today is relaxing with Quaker Meeting and maybe watching football with some friends. I feel Light today. And sleepy as I was up late and now up early. Love and Light.

Yay Friday!  I am working tomorrow, and I'm grateful that I have this evening with nothing planned so that I can finish up some last minute tasks for the event that I have been leading for tomorrow.  I am visualizing how I'm feeling and what I'm doing after the event.  I am driving my equipment back to the office and I feel Light and happy that the event went so well and it was so much fun.  I reflect with joy on the spontaneous concert with everybody playing their instruments and making joyful noise.  I am now here at work and grateful that I have a new larger hard drive for my editing machine, as it has been tedious trying to make all my projects fit on it.  I have lots of fun creative things to do today.  Love and Light.

Hello, and welcome to Thursday.  I get a haircut tonight and I'm getting ready for my blind date on Saturday night.  I'm sleepy today.  Had a very hard time getting out of bed.  And I feel I could fall right asleep sitting at my desk.  I have lots of projects to work on today.  I am open and flowing with love and light.

I've been meaning to switch when I create a posting for this blog.  I currently write it in the morning and put things in it to be grateful for that are coming up today.  There are a couple of things that are on my grateful list that I am grateful for at the time I write it, like my dog, my job, my car.  The rest are things to remind myself to open to during the day and be grateful when it happens later in the day.  Maybe I'm putting way too much thought into this.  I was wondering if my list would be different if I made it at night and put on it things that happened that day as I reflect on what happened.  Like last night, I would have put on my list grateful for my mechanic since my check engine light came on and he checked it out right away and resolved it quickly.  And my friend Sherri for helping me with makeup and waxing my eyebrows.  The way my list works now, it reminds me first thing in the morning to be grateful all day.  I think it works.  Love and Light.
