My internal mantra used to be “I just want to make nice things and get enough sleep.”
These days my mantra seems to be “I just want to do everything and still get enough sleep”
I’m just not happy doing one thing anymore, the world is so wide and incredible and I want so much from it. I want to make things, to climb things, to do things, I want to learn things and there is never enough time to do all of the things.
The trouble, then, is sleep. Think of all I could do if I didn’t need it!
Even with the need for sleep, to balance time with family, friends, chores, and time for climbing (of course), I managed to find the time to stargaze with my husband. I couldn’t get my telescope to do anything impressive so we just laid a blanket out in the middle of a back country dirt road and fought the dog for a little bit of space on it. We saw shooting stars and I forgot to make a wish because I had everything I wanted.
