What's up?
I haven't had a good nights sleep for awhile. I make jokes about sleep, or lack of it to help me through a tough day that came from a sleepless night. I thought that when I got busy, or rather busier that I'd sleep deep and have trouble waking. Nope. Sleep is a shorter time for me now and I have surrendered to it's hold on me. I go to bed when I feel like drifting off and get the heck up when I wake even if it's 4am. I sit in the quiet of a early morning and let that be the rest I needed. I let it be enough. I know how to meditate and breathe deep, but I also know when I need to process and hold on so I can eventually understand what keeps me up. I don't think it's the work.

Getting up early is something I enjoy, I get the world to myself for a bit, no traffic or TV or talking, sometimes even the birds are quiet, my fav part is seeing the world awaken.
I do hope sleep blesses you when you need it and that you get rested!
hmn, this is likely going to lead to a saucy mess but kidnap mr sandman..you should remember the song...mister sand man, bring me a dream make .... now drive him over hostage like to the refrigerator or store... you've a veeeerrry specific request now. ketchup. why? it's saucy and you really could punnily use some!. ;) then, since he may be resistant to aid you after kidnapping...and the excoriating paint off his hide about the job performance thing. stop at store and collect arizona rx tea...the stuff with valerian root extract in it and one of those padded hats best of the mini mart because he just might plan to bonk you a good one out. a little padding may be of use.... consume tea with a smile as yet again I steal your line ma'am of pats heart and points right to y.o.u. ;)
@seedsower - Thanks Beth. These early morning times are calling to me, so maybe the cure is the wake up call to rise. Hugs to YOU!
@starmanjones - Hm. I'm wondering how to explain the sandman strapped down in the kitchen to the fam.
A sandy sleep therapist?
Welcome to my world. I haven't slept through the night since June 9th 2003.
See a doctor. You don't want to be like me.
@Bricker59 - There's only one Bricker, my friend.
Hi, it's nice to see you in here.
My dear Lyne, it wouldn't surprise me if you have an increased sensitivity to groovy energy sources. Maybe you're too groovy to sleep
@Jaynebug - So true, and this Bricker has missed you MUCH!!
Now...time for pier fishing photos! Get with it girl!!!
Love you Lyne.
@distractedbyzombies - That's good one to add to my sleepless jokes. Thanks Bear. Maybe I am just toooooooooooo groovy vibin' to sleep.
@Bricker59 - Love you too Thom! Yep..This calls for FISHING with FILM.
@Jaynebug - budget third world operation game? ;) if that takes too long to explain to the newbies to life- then how about a sudden passion for avantegaurd art?...no? my first guantanamo bay torture kit? you know product testing?, ethically humane mythical manifestations theory one oh one? ;) smile really big and hope the question dies ith a wideeyed oh.
@Jaynebug - But...but I was serious!
I love that flower BED. Did you make that? I so enjoy your light-hearted, colorful blogs.
I know the sleep thing. I am staying up later but still rising early. It doesn't seem to make any difference - 6 hr or 8 hrs... I come from a long line of night owls so I'm guessing it must have a genetic component. Hope the rest you need is just what you get and the processing of problems is easy. I can imagine peace flowing over you - go with the flow!

@papertruth - It is at The Cambria Pines Lodge. It is surrounded by beautiful gardens and gates and it's always changing here and there. I know I'll have to make one myself someday. I've also seen them with just a headboard that's buried a bit more. Glad you enjoy a light heart. Mine works better that way. :)
@murisopsis - You're the BEST Val. Flowing peace is a good thing.
that is really neat!
@Babyboomerjill - I want one. It's on my list.
@Jaynebug - you can make one yourself.

I have the same trouble, I just go with it and try to rest.
I am the mother of insomnia.
Beautiful post, and a fantastic picture.

Oh, I have mised you! I've thought about you often, always sending positives your way. I love that bed. If I didn't think it would attract 50 zillion bees, I'd sleep in it. <3
Love that photo. I always know what keeps me awake.
