someone said,

"things...sometime too many

things pop in her head at early

morning hours and keeps her awake."

i jokingly said...

don't call me

i'm still sleeping.

but i wasn't

this morning at 4 a.m.

a to do list popped into

my head and would not go away.

details

creating a moderate level of

anxiety.

so...

i recorded my to do list

and remembered

to breathe in deeply

through my nose

deep down into my diaphram...

slowly...

deeply.

why do we forget to breathe.

when i remember to breathe

i calm down....

i went back to sleep

and when i woke up

i felt better.

i had my to do list

in tact.

and as of late morning eight

of the eleven

tasks were done.

two other tasks i

will soon complete

and the last

i have a few more days

to get in order.

breathe

i remember.

breathe...
