In daylight it is so much easier to stay busy and happy. Sleep and busy don't go together.

I had a dark night of the soul this weekend, myself. (And I didn't have a snoring roommate but I DID have a coughing dog...) But, as you said, somehow the night passes, and another day dawns... <br /><br />I love your descriptive paragraph about waking up the next morning: "Light came through the blinds and lit up dust motes over the bed....The only sounds were muffled ones from below and the air felt sultry.... When I sat up, my feet felt good on the scratchy sea-grass rug..." <br /><br />"Blog Gems" is a good idea.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01221703763145912238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-19212465985868879072010-11-22T09:49:07.390-08:002010-11-22T09:49:07.390-08:00I love you .

So often I have been at my wit's end and ready to do something drastic and later, when I look back on it from a moment comfortable and warm I realize that I would have really regretted losing my sh*t. Gives me more faith in the future and more compassion for those people who do lose it when they are at the end of their rope.
