Eyes wide open!

Wow. I am WIDE AWAKE. I have to get up at 4:00 AM to get in my jog and be on time for our local Mayor's prayer breakfast.

I tried to go to sleep. I laid down with Megan until I heard her steady, even breathing that can only mean solid sleep. I don't normally have problems falling asleep - thankfully that comes pretty easily to me.

I keep playing the songs over and over in my mind for the morning. I wrote a thank you note I have been meaning to send, and I mulled over not completing my Europe trip on this blog! I thought about what I can do differently in my life to serve others. I gathered important papers for tomorrow and paid a bill. I wondered what I might do after my kids have gone off to college and they aren't here for me to listen for deep breathing and the security that they are "under my wing".

That is a lot of business for one mind at 11pm. See if I ever have caffeine at 4pm again! Boy, will I be sorry tomorrow afternoon when I am sleeping at my desk!

Good night, I guess. I'll do my best to rest for the next 4 1/2 hours! As my dad used to say - I'll have to sleep fast!
