I love the sound of the rain dripping off the thin tree leaves and softly pounding onto the broad leaves of the bird of paradise and banana plant. \u00a0It\u2019s a pre-dawn symphony The Beloved arranged just for me. \u00a0It\u2019s been a busy week of phone calls and paperwork, and also connecting with good friends. \u00a0Last night, I crashed early and got 7 hours of sleep in a row! \u00a0My usual is 3-4 hours twice a day. \u00a0This has been a good sleep week, I\u2019m finally back on my own sleep schedule. \u00a0Boy, my world changes when I get enough sleep. My mind clears and I can see that everything is manageable. An inbox that seemed overwhelming, upon closer inspection, is not. A stack of calls to be returned go quickly. \u00a0Calls coming in are handled immediately. Work gets done. \u00a0The To Do List gets crossed off. \u00a0I get time for fun and play and, most gloriously, SLEEP! Life is good. \u00a0I have no complaints whatsoever.<\/p>\n<div id=\"s-share-buttons\" class=\"horizontal-w-c-circular s-share-w-c\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/a-pre-dawn-symphony-the-beloved-gifts-me-today-my-world-changes-when-i-get-enough-sleep\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to Facebook\" class=\"s3-facebook hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=A pre-dawn symphony The Beloved gifts me today.
