Be At Peace

It’s barely 11:00 in the morning and I’ve gotten several task done today. Including fixing a customer problem with my printer and phone, getting some prescriptions renewed, and working on a draft for an upcoming book. It’s hard to believe that I’m taking a break from writing by writing yet another story. But such as it is when you get into the flow. But last night you wouldn’t had predicted such a productive morning. For I had some of the most vivid bad dreams I have had in a while.

Now it’s nothing for me to have stress dreams when things don’t go right. But it’s another to have dreams that continue on and on with me making every bad decision I could make. The damn thing finally woke me up around six this morning. Just about the time when the kids upstairs were doing their usual “dancing on the ceiling” to get ready for school. I got up with my body itching from my allergies, while Micheal Strahan was saying “Good Morning” to my wife. I even had time to text my book editor with my agenda for the rest of the day.

But at the moment I have no set deadlines to meet, no expectations to fulfill. And that’s just the way I like it. For my life has been through enough ups and downs to last me a while. But we all know it ain’t never going to end. Despite all the talks we have with ourselves. It’s usually nothing more than casting wishes on the wind. That is unless you are a total asshole that demands total loyalty. And what’s the fun in that? So keep your eyes on the prize, but remember there’s always a cost. Because there’s more than just you out there. So be mindful and be at peace.
