What a little sleep can do...

It is quite amazing what sleep can do for you. Like give you the
opportunity to not think about something for long enought to have a
perspective change. It's quite a beautiful thing, really. I often joke
around on IMs about sleep and personify it as a woman- for only a woman
could make me feel the way sleep does. I've been known to have status
messages like:

"I hope sleep puts it on me tonight, I need it!"

"Sleep has officially made me its trick!"

"Sleep got that good stuff"

And my favorite,

"Sleep will make you call your wife and say, "I aint never coming
home"!
(Bonus points if you can tell me what that is an allusion to...)

Last night, I came home feeling like crap after some decisions made and
after having a young lady approach me about some foolishness (like we're
in middle school and not adults) and I just couldn't figure out why I
made the decisions I do or why I can't seem to be consistent in my get
it together process. This morning, I woke up before my alarm went of
despite going to sleep soo late, and I had a moment of clarity where the
mistakes mattered little in comparison to the opportunities to make
better decisions in the future based off the lessons learned from the
mistakes of the past. I will waste no time hoping it will last forever.
It won't. Nothing in this life does. I will appreciate it and thank the
Most High for the clean slate of grace and mercy and the opportunity to
start anew. So let it be...Ashe
