thoughts on the news of the day: naps

hmmm…..

            A friend of mine put this on her facebook status today:  “Today is a new day.  Let go of negativity, allow the universe to bring you love, peace, happiness.  Rid yourself of what’s not working; be open to what could be.”

            My doctor put me on a new medication and I couldn’t sleep last night.  About 12:30 a.m. I gave up and got up and played a little on the computer, read a little and generally just piddled around.  That lasted until around 4:30 this morning and since I usually get up at around 5 or 5:30 a.m., the night was generally wasted as far as sleep was concerned.

            So, it’s a little hard to be positive this morning.  You might be in that spot.  Maybe you didn’t get enough sleep, maybe you are not feeling well, maybe things are just not going your way. Today may be the day that love, peace and happiness escape you. Now, I could be a little Pollyanna and say “be happy anyway” but I am too tired.  And that’s OK.  We can’t always be on the top of our game.  Sometimes a smiley face just takes too much effort.

            But like the quote says, “Today is a new day.”  It is never too late to start your day all over again.  It is never too late to be positive.  It is never too late to try again.

            And I will -- just as soon as I get my nap.

            hmmm…..
