I don’t have a clue as to why, but the last couple weeks I have not been able to fall asleep very well. VERY frustrating! Here it is, 2:45 am and I am at the computer. The only reason I am here and not in bed is because I don’t want to wake Mike with my tossing and turning. Am I not sleeping because there is too much on my mind? How do I get it off my mind? How do I get my mind to stop thinking? LOL!
One thing that is definitely on my mind is how thankful I am for my family. There is a man that I went to high school with that is struggling with brain tumor. I don’t know much about his process other than he is a fighter! I have been thinking and praying for this family practically non stop, whenever the thought crosses my mind. I can’t imagine what they must be going through. (If you want to pray as well, here is his carepage link). He has 4 children and a beautiful wife. I wish there was more that I could do for him and his family.
Is this why I haven’t been sleeping? It has truly been consuming my mind. It is so real. I remember him getting on and off the bus when we were in school. He always had his tennis racket. He was always so nice and sweet to everyone. It hits so close to home I guess.
I go into my girls’ rooms each and every night and just watch them sleep. I could watch them sleep for hours. I watch them breathe with not a care in the world on their minds. Up and down, up and down… I am so thankful to the Lord above for the life he has given me. I have an amazing husband that I thank the Lord for every day. I try to be the best wife and mother I can be. My girls and my family are everything to me.
I hope to cherish every day as if it were the last leaving nothing on the table – no regrets. The little things in life seem so…little when looking at what some other people’s challenges are.
OK, off I go again to try and sleep. I am hoping for success…
