Attention everyone!
Go to bed early!
Feeling exhausted all day?
Go to bed!
Seeing hallucinations?
How are you reading this?
You are literally dying,
Go to bed now!
Are you getting unreasonably irritated,
By others' normal quirks,
And your friends' little mistakes?
Your brain is too tired to tolerate anything,
Go to bed earlier,
And you will be more patient!
Is anxiety driving you insane?
Your brain is too exhausted to rationalize,
Go to bed on time,
And you will be calmer!
Do you have too much to do?
Too bad,
Go to bed!
How can you expect to do your work sufficiently,
If you refuse to give your brain and body a break!
Go to bed early!

Rebecca Patton
Ever since discovering Roald Dahl, I wanted to be an author who would delight and move her readers through her stories. I also wrote my debut novel, "Of Demons and Deception" on Amazon.

the magic of kindness
Homelessness is hard But one act of kindness can Thaw even concrete —————— The older I get, the more I become very well aware of the privilege that I grew up with. There is no greater privilege than to have a roof over your head and food on the table every night when you come home from school or work. It might seem as though it’s a given or something everyone has when you’re young and naive, sheltered from some of the more harsh realities. But the older I’ve become, the more I realize just how singularly lucky I am. I might not have the means to eradicate homelessness, but I certainly recognize how lucky I am to occasionally have “extra,” and I will do as much as I can for as long as I can to give to those who may be in need, as encouraged by my kind and ever generous parents.

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.

Yes! Often when I have too many things to do and I don't know where to start, or I'm just generally overwhelmed, my solution is to take a nap instead. Arguably not the most productive solution, but one that keeps me sane 😄
I love sleep, and my go to solution for most things is to go to sleep, lol. Loved this!
We all know we need more sleep. So many things happening, people don’t want to miss out; or the brain won’t shut up. 😬🤣💕
Hi Rebecca, that is great advice. Sleep is so important to our overall physical and emotional well-being. Much more than most people actually realize. Of course everybody has different life situations. For me getting a good nights sleep is very tough being a 24/7 Caregiver. My job does not have a start of the day or an end of the day - it’s continuous. So I do my best in getting whatever sleep I can get. I do look forward to the day when I will be able to go to sleep at 9 o’clock every night and wake up at six in the morning every morning. That will be wonderful but until then I do the best that I can do.
