Sleepless nights
10:30 pm at night, lying in bed, patiently waiting for sleep to claim you, tucked underneath the covers staring at the ceiling, or maybe at a bedroom wall. Sleep evades you tonight, as you lay in bed with an overactive mind, thinking about today’s fun adventures that you went on. You think about the morning walk you went on this morning at 9:00am with a yellow sunshine outside with blue skies, stretching as far as the eye can see. You remember the feeling of happiness when walking outside, while seeing neighbors walking outside and enjoying the glorious day. You see some neighbors working in front yards and you wave to your neighbors and say, “Good morning.”
Your neighbors repeat the gesture to you and you share the beauty of being outside with Mother Nature, even though it’s warm outside in Florida. Then you think about the delicious breakfast you ate which consisted of a delicious banana and a peanut butter and honey sandwich. The time is 10:00am and you enjoy your delicious and scrumptious sandwich you made. It tastes so good and yummy. You enjoy the
sweetness of the honey and the crunching of the peanuts in the crunchy peanut butter. You also enjoy the yummy, fruity taste of mashed banana. It makes the best breakfast sandwich ever made by you and you are absolutely making and eating more of these sandwiches in the future. It is still night and you are lying awake in your bed watching the shadows on the ceiling, which form tree branches outside your window. You see the tree branches waving back and forth to you while you lie on your back in your comfortable bed with a soft blanket and a soft but gentle pillow that makes you feel safe and comfortable. The tree branches moving outside your window make a scratching sound like they want to be invited inside to keep you company whispering compliments to you. They will say you are very talented and you are very lucky that you have such great friends in your life at home and at work. The whispering and scratching tree branches will always be happy with you and you will always remember your tree branches that whispered to you that night when you couldn’t sleep. You guess it’s probably midnight now and you decide to do a word search book with different categories about life. Different types of homes, trees, nature, the four seasons, the different holidays, the weather, different animals, different presidents, different jobs, different vehicles, different movies, different books, different authors, different sports, different cultures, different states, different countries, different languages, and different foods. You look for those different words related to those different categories until it’s morning and finally you can get ready for another new day on a rainy day and even though you are extremely exhausted you build a puzzle inside your bedroom on the table that sits on your bedroom floor. You watch TV in your bedroom and you also eat snacks like chips and pretzels and you drink milk. You love watching National Geographic on your television in your bedroom while you are sitting in the tiny but very comfortable couch. Pretty soon you check the time and it’s finally time for bed and another sleepless night so you watch tv until you see the sunlight peeking through your tiny opening slivers of curtains in the morning.
