In The Blink Of An Eye


This morning I was on my way to the dentist office when I stopped to watch the sun rise. Yes, I pulled off the road and watched the sun rise above the mist. 

Every day I chat with you guys and you talk about what a hurry you are to get to the ‘real world.’ We won’t discuss how this is your real world again, but we will talk about the hurry that you are in and what you miss when you don’t pull off the road to watch the sun rise. 

   
Yes, it happens every day. And yes, we take it for granted every day because we are in a hurry. You think that tomorrow you will take a break to appreciate the beauty in the things around you. Justify that tomorrow I’ll slow down to enjoy those around me and let them know how I feel. Why tomorrow? Why not now?

3 Things That Could Help You Sleep Better
  1. Stop using all technology 30 min before bed- no cell phone- no lap top- no kindle.  The light block melatonin which can help you fall asleep.  A 30 min wind down with relaxation and reading (a paper book) can make it easier to fall asleep.
  2. No caffeine after 3 PM.
  3. Sleep only an hour longer during the weekend than your latest weekday wake-up time.
