Thanks for visiting my diary. I've been journaling since 1984 and have chosen to share some of my entries online. They are not all positive thoughts, but I hope that reading them might be a blessing to someone who needs encouragement.

If you are just coming to my diary for the first time, please read my introductory entry, where I share some background that is important if you plan to follow this diary regularly.

Please also visit my music page, where you can hear samples from my debut CD, I Believe, which features songs written based on experiences shared in this journal.

end of day recap and insomnia

Today I've actually done pretty well. Been a bit on the high side, but I haven't had any major low points or outbursts. So far so good. I do think some of this has to do with processing stuff. I've done an incredible amount of that lately, and I do have a ton of daily life stresses. I've no doubt depleted my emotional strength quite a bit. We'll see what happens, I guess.

Oh, when am I going to sleep tonight?
Will I even sleep at all?
I've turned off the radio and the lights,
And Mom is asleep down the hall.

The cat's even sleeping, a real nice surprise!
She's all curled up in her place.
But I can't even seem to close my eyes,
And of tiredness I've not a trace.

I tried soothing music, some toast and hot tea.
It didn't accomplish one thing.
Instead of that feeling of falling asleep,
I could stay wide awake and just sing!
