2008 is full of promise

Well..busy, hectic, stressful, sometimes overwhelming and depressing December is behind us. We’re into a brand new year now that is full of promise.

There’s something about January that is fresh, clean and uplifting. It is almost like we have a clean slate to begin with. The old is out....old year, old depression bouts, old messed up thoughts and feelings.

The new is in....a new year, a new beginning, new fresh healthier thoughts and feelings, a chance to set things right for a change, and every new day is an opportunity to strive to make our self and our life better than it was the day before.

And I have learned the power of prayer. We DO have a God that cares about us and desires to help us IF we turn to him and have faith in him. It DOES make a difference.

Sleep

Since I have started my four websites, it seems like I am always sitting at my computer. If I have a day full of other activities and appointments, then I am on my computer in the evenings and it extends to way into the early morning hours. I cannot seem to discipline myself to get off the computer. I will look at the clock and tell myself to turn it off…then I think, “fifteen more minutes”. Yea, right….next time I look at the clock it is three hours later!!! Sometimes it is 4 or 5 o’clock in the morning when I am dragging myself to bed.

I feel that I have really messed up my sleep rhythm by not going to bed at a decent time so that I can wake up reasonably early in the mornings.

Sleep is so vital to repairing and revitalizing the body. There is much to say about the saying, “early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise”.

Now, if a person is struggling with stress and depression…..poor sleep habits are one of the worse things they could do to themselves. They, above all, need the “early to bed and early to rise…."

So if you want more upsy and less downsy.... get better and longer sleep, okay?
