Celebrate the temporary

Don’t wait until tomorrow

Live today

.. ..

Celebrate the simple things

Enjoy the butterfly

Embrace the snow

Run with the ocean

Delight in trees

Or a single flower

Go barefoot in the grass

.. ..

Don’t wait

Until all the problems

Are solved

Or all the bills

Are paid

You will wait forever

Eternity will come and go

And you will

Still be waiting

Live in the now

With all the problems

And its agonies

With its joy

 And its pain

Your despair

Your anger

It means you’re alive

.. ..

Look closer

Breathe deeper

Stand taller

Stop grieving the past

.. ..

There is joy and beauty

Today

It’s the temporary

Here now and gone

So celebrate it while you can

Celebrate the temporary

.. ..

Hope it the thing with feathers

And sings the tune without the words,

And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;

And sore must be the storm

That could abash the little bird

That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chilliest land,

And on the strangest sea;

Yet, never, in extremity,

it asked a crumb of me,

-Emily Dickinson 

Another night of restlessness, random thoughts run through my mind keeping me from finding peace. Constantly skipping from each thought to the next. Tossing and turning I lay still for hours. Even after I find sleep there is no rest. I constantly find myself awake as the thought process begins again. My mind still turns. Three days I have not been able to sleep well and it is starting to take it toll on me. There is nothing in particular that I am thinking of. Nothing that I concisely know of that preoccupies my every thought. There is no dominating thought just a million little things. I wish I could sleep.
