Good morning.

Today I woke up at 2:30, 3:30, 4:00, 4:30 and 5:00.  Deep breathing exercises didn’t seem to be working.

Finally, I did what I often say I’m going to do when this happens.  Instead of tossing and turning and turning and tossing…I  got up, got dressed and went outside for a run.  Pitch black dark, I decided to drive to a stair step machine.

By the time I got home, the sun was up and I saw the bales of pine needles that had been waiting for me.  So I spread ten of them.   Don’t you love the look of fresh pine needles?

Got back inside and was so energized!!!  I took care of three household details that I pushed to the back burner, then got ready for work.

And wow – now I’m here before anyone else.

Great way to start the day.

I hope I’ll do this more often.

How about you?

What do you do when you can’t sleep?
