I love that taunting feeling when you’re just about to drift into a reeeeeally good sleep.
Sleep is great.
But that decadent feeling that happens just before you allow yourself to relinquish control,
That self satisfying thing that says that for this moment,
Everything is okay …
I love that feeling.
I used to go through my days looking forward to it.
But now I realize that feeling is a lot like life.
We all have goals and aspirations, things that we expect to happen,
And things that we pray God will allow to happen.
That anticipatory feeling right before you go to sleep is very similar to
Being on the cusp of seeing everything you ever dreamed come to fruition.
I’ve often wondered why I’m so intrigued by that sensation.
I’ve come to the conclusion that, in life, I’m always on the cusp of fulfilling another dream.
When things get rough, and that taunting feeling seems like
It’s the only good thing I have to look forward to,
There has got to be something completely mind-blowing just around the corner.
Another goal reached, or dream manifested.
So I’ve learned to surrender to my sleep a lot earlier now,
No longer holding on to the anticipation of it,
But actively seeking to float into a sweet slumber…
