Sleep

As the alarm rang early today, I thought about how important it is to wake up and quickly connect with team members in a different time zone. I decided to not waste another second. I hit snooze and repeated, for another 20 minutes.

A few minutes after I dragged myself out of bed, my daughter was up. This got me thinking about how much she hates to sleep. She fights sleep as if it’s the enemy, and only when she’s completely worn out, would she let sleep take over. In the morning, as soon as she’s up, you can rest assured that she’s not going back to sleep. The reason for this is that everything in the world is so exciting. The places, colours, sounds, lights, noises, and smells, are all things of wonder.  She doesn’t want to miss out even one moment of being awake.

I wonder if I was ever so excited about everything, but at least for the last decade I’ve been dragging myself out of bed. I love my life, I love my job, but I just don’t want to wake up. Thank you sweetheart for reminding me to find excitement everywhere. While your kiddy tunes toys would continue to be a pain, I promise to look for happiness every minute and everywhere.
