Every night I die
And every morning born again
I can’t pretend it’s easy
To get up and go again
There is little choice
Whether alone or together
Get up or give up
And close your eyes forever
When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.
Jimi Hendrix
Gratitude Journal
I am so happy and grateful to be able to pick a bagful of mulberries to take to school to share.
With nothing to do at school and some residual guilt about being at home, I started to feel a little lonely and depressed, so I got up and started watering the garden early, and then came back in and did some exercise, which did the trick, so I think I will try and incorporate some exercise during the day, and some wind down before bed. This should help me maintain my weight better, too.
It was supposed to rain last night, but everything was still dry when I got up. I feel pretty good today, despite having another day of nothing again. I’ll probably get home before 11am.
I brought in a bag of mulberries for everyone and chatted with the teachers for a while before they all disappeared off to a meeting.
I just remembered that I didn’t sleep well last night because I had another nightmare, brought on because of talking with Hayden about nightmares and writing about it here yesterday. Yesterday, I had a fleeting thought of us all having a little devil within us, brought up by a piece written in Philosophy and The Wire, about Nietzsche. In the dream, something unknown was doing horrible things to scare and hurt me and my friends until we became the people doing the hurting and scaring to others! I woke up at one point, actually trying to kick someone away from me!
