One thing life has taught me: if you are interested, you never have to look for new interests. They come to you. When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I'm interested in life. I'm interested in people. In a few days, I will celebrate my 51st birthday. Yes, I said "celebrate", and yes, I did state my correct age and happily so. I'm happy be on earth as long as God needs me here. Each day of life is a reason to celebrate. I look forward to each new day and the new discoveries I will make before laying down my head on my pillow to sleep. Speaking of which, it's 12:04am and I'm still being productive, sitting here writing to you! As I think of you, I hope you are peacefully sleeping right now and wake refreshed, ready for your own new discoveries that will come with the rising sun. Reminds me of a poem I wrote in 2006 called
Contented Sleep
By: Nan Forehand
hard at work and hard at play
grateful for the miracle of this day
blessed assurance from my LORD
with Him I'm never bored
a life lived to the max
God taught me how to relax
not a worry, not a care
I gave them all to Him in prayer
oh, the benefits I reap
sweet, contented sleep
thankful for the day just passed
slumber time has come at last
He watches over me when I sleep
oh, the benefits I reap
sweet, contented sleep
contented sleep
sleep
shhh
sleep
