Perspectives: Navigating Thoughts in the Quiet Hours
Mindful Reflections and Embracing the Unseen Journeys at 4 a.m.
It's 4 a.m., and I'm wide awake, but I know it's not time to remove myself from bed.
I grab my book to finish number one of the year. Then, my journal to document what's on my mind. I hope it leads to enough mind space to grab a few more hours of sleep.
My random writing allowed me to mind-vomit things that were keeping me awake last night.
My son turned 30 on New Year's Eve but I believe he ended his 30th year and is on to bigger and better at 31.
A dear friend who was in a shit storm of mess has decided to pivot her life completely, and I could not be more proud and in awe of that.
Is it true that history is repeating itself again since that is the history of history?
I haven't checked in with my community online because I was too busy being disconnected for the holidays. Will that matter?
What will my newly remodeled bathroom look like, and will it only take three weeks to finish?
All these 4 a.m. thoughts keep leading me back to perspective. The way we view things even at an unusual hour of the day.
The paths we follow to build a life we love. How one person will see my life as chaotic and a tad repetitive. At the same time, others will see it as weird and exciting.
I will forever be a glass-half-full girl, and this year of nourishment will be no less. No one will ever change that perspective.
It's all in the perspective we give the thoughts.
Stay weird and wonderful!
