Getting back in the groove

I've had a hard time putting my thoughts down lately.

I've got the thoughts. But not the patience to get them out and in words.

And then, last night, I had the most terrible night.

Somewhere in my head, I got the idea that if I closed my eyes, I would not wake up.  That going to sleep meant saying "Goodbye" to my BEAUTIFUL Family.

And that, I could not bear.  So I DIDN'T close my eyes.  And I DIDN'T sleep.  Which only made things worse.  Because then, it turned into a stress induced psychosis.

But a couple of WONDERFUL things came out of it.

1)  I had that opportunity which many people miss to say the things I would say if I would never see my Babies and my Husband again.  All of those things I NEEDED them to know, are now on paper.

2)  I look at life COMPLETELY different now.  The HARDEST day is better than not being here.  And it makes me love and cuddle more, and yell and pick less.

I am so grateful for a night where I got to live like I was dying.

And so grateful to be here to live the life I would have missed!
