Not sleeping well.
Ready to give up.
DID give up... stopped trying... what's the use?
Went to doctor.
Got medicine.
Finally SLEPT well.
Feeling better.
Gee... maybe this giving up thing is not such a good idea.
Ya think?!
Reminder to self (and anyone else who happens to read this):
Good Sleep is our friend!
Good Sleep is a good thing.
Good Sleep is to be protected, planned for, prioritized, FOUGHT for.
A good night's sleep, done over and over, will change how our brains function!
Like, giving us the energy to try once again.
To hope once again.
To believe once again.
I was making up answers in my head to my doctors usual question he always asks: "How are you today?"
I was all set to answer honestly with: I just feel like giving up.
The day before my appointment I saw a little sketch by a fellow artist, done of her bestie in the kitchen cutting up onions. The smiling lady was wearing a cheerful apron and funny "onion goggles".... and was on oxygen, connected to a tank. The caption read:
No matter how you feel:
Get up
Dress up
Show up
and
Never Give Up
I cried when I read that.
I wanted to agree.
I wanted to WANT to agree.
But I was so exhausted, so wiped out, I just "wished" I could agree.
Now, after a 9 solid hours of sleep, I can smile and agree.
I think sometimes it's not just all "mental", but physical too.
Get yer ZZZZZZZZZ's! :-)
Happy Sleeping,
Loretta
