sleep

i have been sleeping. 

a lot. 

we went to the cabin, which was soul-enriching, to say the least. something about being in the woods, actually seeing the stars, hauling wood and smelling of smoke, wearing longjohns all day, tossing snowballs at an enormous pine tree, and going to bed together every night. 

it felt so different, so remarkable, that i'm carrying on the tradition. last night i was in bed from around 8pm until a little after 7. i'm awake some as it seems that i've almost forgotten how to do this most basic of human functions. so maybe i'm not getting that full time of shut eye, but i'm getting a lot. 

enough to feel different. happier. 

it means that i'm not getting to the computer and i do miss you, this connection. so i'll eek it out wherever i can during the day. thanks for still being here with me. i really do love this space we share together.

im glad to hear that you go to bed with your kids. i used to tell myself i absolutely had to have that time alone at night, to create and be still and be quiet and have some freedom. now im not missing it as much as i thought. its surprising. now im enjoying the sleep, and also enjoying doing less. its good for me. much love

I get it
I go to bed often with my kids--It's the only way i can really do it all.
Sometimes I stay up with hubby but those early nights make life so much smoother.
Take care of yourself---we are all with you
