sleepytime inspiration.

Ahhh hello Tuesday. Last night I raked in a solid 3 hours of sleep, so although the coffee is flowing like the salmon of Capistrano right now, I'm bound to be napping under my desk later today. I'm not above these things.

As I was spilling toothpaste all over God's creation this morning, I was thinking to myself, SELF: how do you choose to live this day with a mere three hours of beauty rest in your handbag? And here's what popped into my head:

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” -Howard Thurman

Funny, because I've been reading about a lot of existential psychology that centers on, more or less, this basic belief: live to be alive. I can't explain how happy I was that my brain turned to this. Today I will be alive. And tonight I will sleep like it's nobody's business. George best be giving up my pillow, the little sleepytime thief.
