go to bed late
in order to relax at least a little
while awake
(after tough, tough decisions are made)

wake up early
in order to get your spouse
out the door
off to work
(in person)

finish some chores
accomplish some goals
take care of the every-day to-do things
and then

NAP

in order to wake up
cuddled with your dog,
splashed with streaks of sunlight,
rainbows dancing all around the room
floating over your skin,
feeling like this is a Day,
not a trial, a burden, a slog

(and then,
write
it
out.)
