We live in a world of what ifs.
What if we did something else,
or what if we weren’t there (as
sometimes we shouldn’t be
when it comes down to the
wrong place at the right time).
What if it never happened?
What if we had responded
differently or if we had taken
the advice we were told?
Would we have been so bold?

Is what you do enough?
For who?
For you?
Self-doubt?
Self-love?
Self-centered?
Is it selfish to think mainly
of what I need to do for me,
myself, and I?
Why?
When will I find resolve to
my never-ending queries?
Will it be enough?
Do you still doubt?
Do you struggle with answers,
as much as the questions?
Can you decide?
Are you trying?
Is that enough?

I'm like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.

As you settle between the sheets, you mindfully prepare yourself for the deepest sleep possible. At this time, your brain is still abuzz with the doings of the day. It’s only natural to do a quick check of what you have done, or what you have to do, but don’t let the day control your mind. It is important to try and clear your head and allow it to rest with your body.
A habit for many of us, reading has become a relaxing way to unwind before sleep. Reading, by its very nature, can transport you to other places, fiction or not; it will take your mind off the reality surrounding you and move to a more restful plane.
Do what you need to do before sleep, to let the mind rest.
