Insomnia

Who has not suffered insomnia at one point and time?

I believe it is a curse of our modern day stressful and hectic lifestyle.
There is no time for our mind, never mind the body to slow down.

OK- I have tried everything. I meditate, don't drink any caffeine or alcohol
after mid-afternoon. Although sometimes, when I have company, I have a
cup of coffee. After all, I am famous for my excellent coffee. My niece who
got married in Italy said I make the best coffee this side of the world.

In the summer, I keep busy with the garden, I have an active social life, I read.
I also allow myself time to meditate and do a bit of stretches. There are nights
not even a sleeping pill can help. Oh, yes, I know what it's like to toss
and turn all night.

Last night was a miracle- I felt so down yesterday because I had to pay quite
a sum to get my truck fixed- tune up, rear brakes changed, oil change and the
works to get it ready for winter.

I was all set to get some soil to get my garden ready for Spring . But after
I saw the repair bill- I came straight home, very depressed.

Can't even sit outside- it was chilly, so I decided to play mahjong on my laptop
for over two hours. I tried to surf to find something of interest- nothing could
grab my attention.

I don't always watch tv- but I settled down to watch HOUSE- it was good,
then watched more boring tv till my eyes were tired. I did my meditation
and said my prayers-, read some Psalms then off to bed @ 11PM. Had one
of the best sleep in months.

Perhaps I should watch tv every night.
