No sleep- part two

not to mention the college nights I shouted with my sisters, "No sleep tonight!" And I want to, I really want to, but I can not do it. I admit defeat. Even the many times that I have experienced deaths in the family, traveled to Florida on Spring Break and the two times I flew to Europe. I slept at least part of the way  through it. So. Sorry. I apologize.  And I respect those of you who can do it. It is on my life list, though, so who knows? Maybe all I have to do is visualize the experience. Maybe all I have to do is admit that my body will not truly sleep until, like my Mother used to always say, I am dead. Maybe I get to be awake just exactly the number of hours I can stand to be. And maybe I get to be asleep so I can dream and stay as beautiful as my late mother was. Whatever the truth or reason is, it astounds me that other people are not like me. And I could not be more thankful that they are not. Sleep well. Or don't. Either way, remember that some of us simply will, no matter how much we fight it, sleep tonight!
