Another Day Has Begun.......

It happens most mornings.  I begin to stir from sleep around 5ish.  The room is dark and cool.  The bed feels gooood.  I change positions, bringing the pillows closer to me.  I thrust one between my legs.  The coolness of the bed linens feels wonderful.

I can't go back to sleep, no matter how hard I try.  My consciousness begins to talk to me.  Things I need to do that day....worries over this or that....unrelated, semi-conscious concerns.  I seem to have no control over my thoughts.

I force myself to arise.  My second stop is the coffee pot.  Soon, my thoughts and consciousness will once again be under my control.  Another day has begun.
