*WARNING*: the following post was composed at a late hour and I fully admit its/I'm strange, but here you go. For those of you who've ever felt like this at night (maybe its just me!) I sympathize.
ME: Hey, brain! It's time to sleep! Its 12.42 am, see? Time to shut down and save those last minute thoughts and to dos and ponderings for tomorrow.
BRAIN: But, but...there are so many things to do tomorrow! And why didn't we do them today? We had time today, but I think sunday wore me out and consequently Monday became (as it so often does) my read articles on politics and the news and random thought provoking blog posts, pinterest and blog stalk and accomplish various little things in between day. This leaves me with the prospect of Tuesday: a day where I'm desperately motivated to accomplish so much that should've been done Monday, but I'm restricted in my time as its my teaching day. How can I sleep when Tuesday is tomorrow? How will I remember all I need to do?
How can I sleep when so many of my friends are family are struggling right now, are needing prayers and love? So many in the world are suffering and some of the things I read in the news today hurt my heart so much. I want to help them and I want to think of ways that I can. How can I sleep before I do that?
How can I sleep when October is moving along even faster than September did? (is that possible?). Before I know it it'll be November. I'm wanting to make each day count instead of watching the weeks whiz on by. How?
How can I sleep when I've been learning and growing so much lately, when I've got some important decisions on my mind and goals for changes I want to make in my life? I find its ideal to plan one's life out when one goes to bed but you seem to think that time should be occupied by sleep...
ME: I do. I think now that you've gotten all of this out of your system, you should feel relaxed. A lot of the things you've been thinking about are 'on paper' so to speak so you don't have to remember them anymore. Feel better?
BRAIN: well I...yes, actually
ME: good! Time for bed then. You need some some rest and I'm cold and Mike is the best heater there is! To the reader: Thanks for reading an oddball late night post that probably introduced you to a weirder side of me than you cared to know, but I needed that. I think I can sleep now. Goodnight world!
