When I Could Be Sleeping

There are things to do

That won't get done

Time is tighter than noose around my neck

We have to always make the best of use of our time

If it is sleeping, relaxing or hard at work

In this way we can get the most out of every day

We all know how easy it is to sit back and watch T.V. programs

Play games on your phone or the old fashioned board and card games

They are so much fun

There is a time and a place

When there is work to be done

We have to put it on hold

The weather is beautiful today

Time to get outside and do some yard work

I have to go to work later

So I will be lucky to get two hours in before I have to get cleaned up

I make sure I eat a good breakfast

That gives me some good energy to get started

Boy would I love to sleep another three hours

My body is not liking my mind right now

So I don't give it another thought

If I get busy I can over ride my sudden feelings of exhaustion

Later today I will feel it

This is the only way

I get a jump on my day

I will be glad I did

I am still struggling with the whole idea

It is good to put it on paper

Now that my body got to voice it's opinion

I am finishing breakfast and off I go

Sluggish and and dragging my feet

I ate some cereal and water melon for breakfast

Took half my vitamins

Now I am going to make a few phone calls

i washed up a few dishes in the sink

Now that I have one chore under my belt

I can go on to bigger and larger things

Even though I haven't left the sitting position

My mind is slowing gearing up

I have to keep my little pep talks going

A way of tricking my body to go along with the plan

I could easily stay here on the computer and write a poem

I think it is my mind trying to distract me from doing other things

The sooner I get outside the safer I will be

This time is critical

It is easy for laziness to set in

Like quicksand slowly taking my body with it

I don't notice it at first

Until half my body will be under

Then it will be too late

Even if I wanted to do something

I couldn't

I keep a good positive attitude and look on the bright side

Sleep is over rated

Huh like fun it is
