It would be nice after a full day to be able to close your eyes and drift into a peaceful sleep. Most nights that is the way it goes. Tonight….not so much. As I laid in bed, I began to hear the night sounds. The birds have quieted and the frogs have picked up the chorus. In the distance, the coyotes begin to sing their mournful song. It seems that the group harmonizes with their eerie but somewhat peaceful tune. Soon, they quiet down. They must have been able to find rest.
I listen to Ron’s breathing and try to mimic it. By now, I know that nothing is going to work. I slowly slide out from under the covers, grab a blanket and a pillow and head to the couch. Perhaps…just maybe, I can journal a blog and after putting some thoughts in print, I can fall asleep. It’s worth a try.
I guess some nights sleep is just overrated. Thankfully, I don’t have any plans in the morning.
