At least I finally know what that means.
I had a tough night of not sleeping, but I feel OK this morning. The Immodium needs updating and I am having tea and two bananas for breakfast. My nose is running and I am salivating quite a bit. (Drooling for more pills?......kidding)
I am not so religious, even though I am a licenced Minister, but this sobriety is a cool Christmas gift.
Have a good day!
Jer
i'm sitting here drinking my tea thinking that i should have a shower and get ready for work soon. I'm looking at every day as a gift now.

Goos Morning Jer, Blondechick, Tim and Janet,
How is everyone? I am so tired. I didn't get much sleep, of course that if my fault for staying up late on the computer. I hope you all are having a GOOS morning!!

Have you tried Melatonin for sleep? It worked for some with problems and does wonderfully for me.
MELATONIN
"Melatonin is the all-natural nightcap. It's secreted by the pineal gland, a pea-size structure at the center of the brain, as our eyes register the fall of darkness." At night melatonin is produced to help our bodies regulate our sleep-wake cycles. The amount of melatonin produced by our body seems to lessen as we get older. Scientists believe this may be why young people have less problem sleeping than older people.
Why take it?
"Studies suggest that... supplements can hasten sleep and ease jet lag, without the hazards or side effects of prescription sleeping pills." Melatonin may have many other uses and has been reported to make people feel better, strengthen the immune system, and reduce free radicals in the body. Current research is underway to determine melatonin's effect as an anti-oxidant, immno-modulator in cancer, delayed sleep-phase disorders, and jet lag. Tests are still under way so there is much to still be learned about melatonin and its effects on the human body.

Just curious Jer, how can you be a licensed Minister and not be religous? I thought Minister were part of a church of some sort?
This is a cool Christmas gift! Good for you!

What a good group you all are! Thanks for that morning invite, lol...my mornings are out of whack these days. Another turn on the counter though, I am happy to keep it going. I tried to get things decorated for christmas before the quit date. I knew how screwed up I was gonna be. I have a 15 year old daughter, I can finally start raising right, instead of nodding out at night! She is noticing a change in me. I am not as moody (grumpy sore, but..) I used to just BLOW, as I was counting those things! Thanks to all of you!! This is a group I want to hang with, and learn more about everybody. A lot of strength through a place like this!......Brenda

Strange as this may be, I am really into the life of Jesus and studying religions. I just cannot make that leap of faith. Throughout my life, I have found that religion seems to cause many problems.....I guess I am from the John Lennon school of thought.
I try to use Eastern philosophy and I try to live by the message of the New Testament, I just don't believe in any particular church.
I can do weddings, though, which is pretty cool!

Here is a recommendation for morning meditations.
365 Tao.......Daily Meditations....by Deng Ming-Dao
concise,short and extremely thought provoking
My thoughts on Jesus;
Anybody that can walk on water is o.k. in my book.
He didn't like churches either.He prefered the company of the same people I like to call my tribe.LOL
