Slushy Run

To change my attitude

Delaney was up so early yesterday morning. I have no idea why.

It’s interesting how my brain immediately goes to problem-solving mode and wants to know why my 7-year-old daughter is awake.

There has to be a reason, right?

I ruminated about it for over 30 minutes in bed and couldn’t get back to sleep. Of course, it was my fault she was up at 3:31 a.m.

I have to chuckle at this. There was no reason, she was just up.

I finally got her back to bed and decided the day will begin. Getting out for a run will help me clear my head and change my attitude.

What attitude will you have today? You get to decide.

Poem of the Day:

3:31 a.m. eyes looking at me 
She can’t sleep 
Please go back to sleep 
Cuddles and stuff animals 
That should do it 
Back in bed…

4:01 a.m…4:02 a.m…
Wide awake mind racing
Annoyed, irritated, bothered   
I can’t sleep 

Get up, get going 
Let the day begin
Lace-up my sneakers 
Pull-on hat and gloves  
Slushing winter run
