I’ve sometimes had difficulty sleeping lately. This morning I woke up too early, and couldn’t get back to sleep.
The nice thing about being up early though is when I get to hear my toddler in that time between waking up, and wanting to get out of bed. He sings to himself and plays, and I get to hear what’s on his mind.
It occurs to me I can spend this kind of time each morning listening to my inner child, and find out what’s on her mind.
