At two a.m.
the sky is patent black
and I stand at the center of all my mistakes.

My call comes at 3am.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
I’d take that Francine!
and then you accept it or not.
Or not….
And they loom.
And they do.
usually 3 a.m.for me
I’d take the hour.
Banishment of such thoughts at night, that’s what works best. Better to examine those mistakes in the cold light of day, after a decent sleep. There’s nothing can be done about them at two a.m., when they’re liable to inflate themselves out of all proportion.
100% agree Sarah. Now to execute.
Dave,
No better time for an examination of one’s conscience. The next surise offers an opportunity to amend one’s ways. And in so doing the next 2AM wakeup call may simply be a turning over to your other side, free of regrets.

Beautifully stated Alan. Yes. That’s it.
You’re quite welcome, Dave.

That’s exactly why I go to sleep well after midnight. Can’t hear the two a.m. wakeup call.
That’s genius Helen. Genius.
Lovely. At 2 a.m. in MY world, I’m struggling to fall asleep because I have to get up in 4 hours…
Same. Same. Same.
This one made me gasp. I will find someplace to put it.
Smiling.
