I took a klonopin with my bedtime medications to make sure. Sleep was not interrupted until 4 a.m. when my cats decided they had to make some grant noise wrestling. Went back to sleep to have them again at 5 a.m. let me know the sun was on the rise and the birds were singing and then again at 6 and 7 a.m. Finally made myself rise out of bed at 7:10 to drink COFFEE.... ha ha still on my first cup 30 minutes later.
Today, I have a lunch date with a former grade school teacher that I absolutely loved in 6th grade. Ms. Fairchild was her name then. She taught the special education students and requested aids from my class. When I was asked to help, I was so honored. There were few times any one had faith in my abilities to help other than clean house. One time I was helping a student see a word problem differently and they did! Ms. Fairchild said she would have to watch out for her job because I handled that so well. She was one of my seed planters. She planted a seed in me that I had long forgotten that I hope I will water now as I look for a new career.
As I recall that seed, I pray that I recall many of the good seeds given me by teachers and other adults that could see the brightness and intelligence that was shadowed by abuse, drugs, and sex.
Namaste
