Yo...You always make me laugh! The hockey game......<br />You are so right about the "thinking too much" theory. I used to wish I had an on and off switch for my brain. But the older I get the more I realize I don't want to wish for that....my brain gets switched off more than on now! ha ha<br />HugsKathryn Neff Perry, PhD, MA, LMHChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15490671251606963991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176856520349779417.post-37715413336249790302012-03-30T12:37:28.900-04:002012-03-30T12:37:28.900-04:00Insomnia used to freak me out when I was a young m...Insomnia used to freak me out when I was a young mother because it was hard enough keeping up with 5 boys. Today if I have a bout of sleeplessness, I know it's because I'm thinking too much. I just go with it and spend the following day drifting through my chores. LOL. Until the hockey game comes on, of course!<br /><br />Hi Katt!

One of the things I have learned to do is just "call His Name" when I can't sleep. Sometimes I think He holds me in His arms (when I am worried) or whispers the words of a favorite hymn....the words often lull me into a peaceful sleep.<br />You are a forever friend....some day my prayer is that we will meet face to face. I love you.<br />KattKathryn Neff Perry, PhD, MA, LMHChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15490671251606963991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176856520349779417.post-21622287580496485932012-03-29T03:09:24.897-04:002012-03-29T03:09:24.897-04:00I usually get my best writing ideas in the last mo...I usually get my best writing ideas in the last moments before falling asleep... those almost-but-not-quite-there times. I don't mind lying there with thoughts flittering through my mind because they don't usually keep me awake too long. It's only Wednesday nights that I have a problem. I come home from choir practice with a couple anthems running through my head like a video loop and They Will Not Stop! You may notice that I'm posting this comment after midnight PDT... there isn't much point in me going to bed early on Wednesday nights!<br /><br />When I do get there I will be reciting to myself, "You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you: because he trusts in you," from Isaiah 26:3. Then I'll start praying and trusting. :)<br /><br />Rest well, Katt.Carol J. Garvinhttp://careann.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
