(not necessarily in that order)
As I wrote in a blog post from a few weeks ago: “If I don’t have the blog written by 9:30 at night, all I get to write is an acknowledgement of the fact that I don’t have time to write because I have to get ready for bed!“
Well, tonight is one of those nights. So sweet dreams, everyone!
Trying out some new strategies for improved posture and earlier bedtime. Crossing my fingers and hoping for the best!
One factor in this new approach is to continue writing my blog posts earlier in the day, so that I’m not as likely to still be writing it into the wee hours. This will also help my posture, since the later it gets, the more likely I am to be slouched over the laptop at the dining room table!
Another part of this strategy has to do with figuring out how to treat myself with the compassion, patience, faith, and encouraging words that I would give a friend or student or even a stranger who came to me for help. In other, pretty much anyone beside me!
It’s crazy really, how hard it is for us to be sweet and gentle with ourselves. There’s the real work. Sigh.
We’re without wireless due to the power outage, which means I’m having to write today’s blog post using my phone. Needless to say, it’s going to be a short one!
But that’s okay. I’ve once again been slowly backsliding into later and later bedtimes, so maybe by keeping this short I can turn that around.
Good night!
The combination of travel days, jet lag/sleep issues, and dinners with family has done its usual number on my efforts to get to bed early. So tonight’s blog is severely truncated as a corrective!
Good night.
