      Thank you, Tom. This one…it’s too true. The cotton clouds came to me on my commute this morning, but the song definitely inspired a bit of the rest. Here’s to the hope that is the weekend delivers what it promises in the way of some time for relaxation and some good reads.

   Sometimes we can’t get it right…

      True, and just what I needed to hear, although I’ll admit it doesn’t appeal to my type A+ personality.

         It doesn’t appeal to many of us, we don’t like that we can’t get it right, that’s human. 🙂

         It is annoying but also comforting, kinda like knowing the odds of winning the lottery are 1 in 292.2 million and it’s the same odds that you’d get it all right.

         That’s very true, I think it’s because human beings can’t deal with uncertainty. We like to know what’s going to happen.

   Ah, a powerful contemplation; and, life feels just like that at times, and then at others it doesn’t. Maybe when it feels like this too often, we take a deeper look. Lovely write, K.

      That’s wise advice, Jeff. I do feel things will settle into routine. But for now, it’s checklists and a full school bag. 💜

         I totally get it, and, though school doesn’t start here for a few more weeks, I’m right there with you. 💜

   Great ruminations K – how often do we pick at our lives on sleepless nights?

      Yes, indeed. Thank you for commenting. 💜
      The mornings are restless for me, as if the day ahead is running a hamster wheel in my head, but my body would like more sleep.
