Mr. Sandman bring me a...slice of chocolate cake

It's funny how a person becomes invested in fictional characters and speak about them like family. I'm not ashamed to say I am guilty of this. I become so invested. I've watched many shows from the very first season and some I picked up along the way by happenstance or recommendation. I will tell you I am not above gorging on three seasons in one weekend. I did that in October last year with Game of Thrones. I did it a few months before with Downton Abbey. And before that I did it with True Blood. I've become engrossed in another show though I didn't spend a weekend in yoga pants and dirty ponytail hair to be brought up to speed. I watched the first couple episodes of the first season and felt pretty confident I learned enough to pick it up in season three. Suits. Every character on that show is a legit bad-ass in their own right. Maybe after the season ends, in two more episode (sob), I'll go back and watch what I missed because who doesn't want to see someone get Litt up?

I've been participating in a Facebook sweep of sorts. A friend of mine invited others to name 3 positive things about their day for 7 days. I completed day three today. I've come to realize today that my positives aren't just single things I encountered but more a realization of the positives in my life. For instance, today I realized how blessed I truly am. My life could be so much worse. I've done my best in the past few years to think positive and live positive. So when something comes along to stress me out or bring me down there is an immediate and very significant shift that allows me to receive the blessing in the message. Its amazing! Life brings us gifts everyday. I learned I have to be willing to receive those gifts in order to realize them. Stop sweating the small stuff and focus on what matters. To me, what matters is the well being of my loved ones. All I want is for everyone important in my life to be happy. Since only they can bring their own happiness its up to me to help them realize it if that makes sense.

Tonight's minutiae of my life is going to be short. To try something different I brought my handy little Chromebook to bed with me so I could write while relaxing instead of listen to the blare of the TV. Little did I know this decision was going to make me so relaxed I'd fall asleep mid stream. Though I've perked up for the moment I can feel my eyelids getting heavier by the second. 

Alright, I give in to the sandman. Huck is waiting for me in my dreams ;) Night y'all!
