I just absolutely LOVE mornings ...
ty...Ha-Ha ... I just absolutely LOVE mornings ...<br /><br /> typically I'll find myself waking up to the chirps and whimsical whistle of the little birdies of the forest ... sometimes it seems as if they're in harmonious concert as they complement the soft symphonic-like sounds of the windchimes swaying in the breeze below our deck <br /><br />... I lie still, and continue to enjoy the moment ... cherishing this brief time I soak in the still of the peacefulness, placidity and quietude as I hear no sound from planes, trains, nor minivan moms ... there is unbroken peace, quiet, and serenity again, and it has arrived with daybreak ... <br /><br />... this morning was especially good as I am fortunate to awake without special need, and because of that I pray thanks to God ... <br /><br />but here's why I really love mornings ...<br /><br />...... it's ...... waking up next to the most wonderful, the most beautiful and the absolute sexiest woman (she's my fantasy gal) in the entire world ... <br /><br />ahhhhhhhhh yes ... my mornings will always be GREAT and will continue this way as long as every day has me waking up above-ground .... not below .... and as long as that continues I pray thanks to God - everyday.<br /><br />dkoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381543043245692093.post-64160772586840665842009-07-04T16:13:52.768-07:002009-07-04T16:13:52.768-07:00I'm not either.

It sounds as if you've struggled with this your entire life, and that's very sad. As a child I was afraid of nearly everything, except the dark. My sister and I were put to bed very early, and that accounted for our sleeplessness, but once it got dark, we slept. Maybe because we had each other for comfort. I'm so sad about how terrified you were as a child, and it didn't sound as if your mother helped you at all with your insecurities, she just let them go until they were deeply ingrained in your psyche. I'm so sorry. This was very sad to read. <br /><br />In spite of it all, you are a beautiful, highly intelligent, functional, competent woman. I really admire you. <br /><br />I'm not a morning person either. God help the person that talks to me before I've had my coffee.Karen ^..^https://www.blogger.com/profile/05197114237324824217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381543043245692093.post-23496926517989633422009-07-04T03:24:20.865-07:002009-07-04T03:24:20.865-07:00PS, funnily enough I named Sophia my daughter afte...PS, funnily enough I named Sophia my daughter after Sophia Loren (I named mine Sophia Erin :D ) and my word, that girl loves her sleeps! :DAbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07842694982070697810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381543043245692093.post-26760813841332368582009-07-04T03:23:10.100-07:002009-07-04T03:23:10.100-07:00I too am really not a morning person!

I had childhood insomnia too - I had a flash light and a pile of books under my bed :D but luckily for me it wore off.... it must be horrible :(... I know from having babies, less than 5 hours sleep and you're a jabbering wreck for the rest of the day....and when you get less than 5 every night for months...holy crap... I just can't do it. That's my idea of hell!<br /><br />I think men are a lot better at getting less sleep - I don't know why! My husband took over night times, and he stayed so much more alert! *shrugs* It's always him dragging me out of bed when I have to be up before 8...!!<br /><br />Don't worry about 'proper' jobs until you absolutely have to!

Recently I have been making the effort to be in bed by 10.30 pm and then up at 7.30am. It is a forced routine. Early rising is alien to me, always has been. It takes effort to get up early. Once up I am bright and happy at least. <br /><br />My son sleeps with the light on - the whole room is lit up or he cannot sleep, he gets scared. But he indicated he is ready for a lamp beside his bed now. He also watches a dvd to go to sleep. He really struggles to just go to sleep naturally. He is getting better.<br /><br />You really have had a tough time of it. No wonder you have had problems for so long. Sleep problems do your head in. No sleep and the brain just goes crazy. Still, you are better now than you were. That is the what is important. It is something I think you will ALWAYS have to work on. <br /><br />Sophia Loren said that the the key to maintaining her looks was to stay in bed until she was ready to get out. I agree.lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05392205573326695683noreply@blogger.com
