Sleep is one of those precious commodities I treasure as I get older. I’m constantly busy and never get enough. I do worry about it from time to time but more than that I worry about not getting everything done. So it gets sacraficed and I’m OK with that. You just do what you have to in order to sustain your family, profession, and sanity.
Staying awake is a challenge on some nights but mostly I welcome the quiet household that allows me time to do whatever it is I need to do. Of course I don’t recommend it on a regular basis because a good nights sleep is so important to our physical and mental health. And somehow things always look better the next day.
So while I haven’t had enough sleep for who knows how long, I know it too shall pass. For now, I am happy knowing I do everthing I can each day. I work on my new business (a little), I work in my “real” job, I play with my son, talk to friends, enjoy family time, and eat good food (albeit too much). I am blessed and that is more than anyone can ask for! So while you have an ounce of energy in your body, make someone else’s day happy by just doing one small thing. Whatever it is will be worth so much to the recipient. And you won’t feel so bad yourself!
Enjoy every moment of your day because even the difficult times make us appreciate what we have so much more.
