Stop

The record turning in my head is not the one I wanted. I wouldn't start this spinning thing that leaves me feeling haunted. The human mind should come equipped with knobs marked “off” and "on." Perhaps then I could sleep again and look to a peaceful dawn. June 8, 2018 , entered in Silent One's When a Fourth Line Helps It to Rhyme Contest

You sound like you have music playing in your head at night? This happens to me a lot and I can't turn it off with out my sleeping pill. Thank god for Temazapan.

Sometimes I do--but not as frequently as I did when I was young. BUT with a granddaughter turning 16 tomorrow and a pre-teen grandson, that record could soon start spinning faster. There's SO much out there for young people to deal with nowadays. Prayer--more prayer!! Janice

Thank you so much, Anne-Lise. I think Walmart sells those on-off knobs, but I hear they're pricey! LOL Janice
