I have two kinds of insomnia...I cannot fall asleep easily and I cannot stay asleep when I do get to sleep.

Not every single night.

There are nights when I am out as soon as my head hits the pillow.

But that's rare, unless I am just so exhausted from not sleeping I have no choice.

There doesn't have to be anything 'wrong' either. I have never had an easy time w sleep.

I can even shut my mind down, shut it off, and still not sleep. I can wake up in the middle of the night, no reason, no noise, no need, no urgent anything. Just wide awake and can't go back to sleep.

It's been like this since I was a kid.

lol

on the one hand--more clients!

on one side--my significant other here to just hold me, not talking, just cuddling

on another, more time to write and polish and publish

on another, or maybe along the same lines as one, someone to either do my marketing for me or who teaches me how to do it so I can get it up and running and moving...

and last but not least, to get the heck out of dodge--to get away from people and life and city and traffic and noise noise noise noise--to go out in the woods and really be still and be quiet without all the thrumming and thumping of "modern life"

Depends--are my kids all right? Do I have what they need to survive and be happy?

If I lost all my own stuff, I'd mourn for a bit, then move on.

Rebuild. Rewrite. Redraw.

Move forward...

wants is something you can live without...

needs is something you have to have in order to survive, to live...

In what capacity?

Work? Hey, a kind word about my writing or my art goes a long way.

Recommending a new client my way would be awesome.

Home/social? Spend time w me. Talk. really just be here now, present and happy yourself, happy to be around me.

I'm not that difficult a person.

Ah, there's a catch here.

I would like my WORK to be well-known, while I stay mostly in the shadows.

I do not want to be Madonna famous. Or even Charlaine Harris famous.

I want people to know my name, to know my stuff (from writing to artwork to dolls to sculptures to whatever), but not know every single detail of my life.

I want my art work and writing to appear in magazines, but not my face, or my family.
