Can't Sleep

It was one in the morning and Joe was not asleep yet. He kept tossing and turning as though it was impossible for him to sleep. How many times has that happened to you? How often have you tried to sleep and couldn't quite make it? More often than you care to admit I'm sure.

Last night was one of those nights. I couldn't get to sleep. I even took the time to read, get a small glass of milk. Nothing seemed to work. This morning I had to get up early to run some errands. After lunch I laid down for a nap. Just as I was about to fall asleep, the phone rang. It was a friend and we talked for half an hour. You're beginning to get the picture! No rest for the wicked.

Life sometimes seems to be moving us so fast that we just don't have time to relax and enjoy what we have. There seems to be something happening all the time. We get up too early, we sleep in too long, maybe, we just end up with sleepless nights. Oh boy! Is their anyone or any thing that can help us? Yes you say. What then is it?

Why are you laughing? What's so funny? You. Me? Yes you. You think that you're the only one with a problem and, I have news for you. You're not the only one. You see, everyone has sleepless nights and errands to run and very little time to do it all.

Even if we had 48 hour in a day it wouldn't be enough. Even though we are organized to a great extent, we still have problems fitting everything into the 10 or 12 hours we spend at work. Organization of our work load is not the real problem. Fitting it all in is.
