The stillness of the Night

Night again.  I always get so lonely at night.  You lay there in the dark waiting for sleep to take you.  I sleep little, so I get up to do some work or putter on the computer.  But at night is the worst for me.  The stillness is too much to handle.  When I was hospitalized, the room was dead quiet.  I sleep for about three hours a night and walked the halls.  I use a sound machine now, but you are still there with only your thoughts.


This is a bad time for me; I analyze everything and review where I made mistakes or could have done better.  


The night give my psyche license.

do you have a pet? snuggling with a cat or a puppy can help you feel cozy.

Pets... I had a dog of ten years that I loved dearly. He died when I was in the hospital. I never said goodbye, I felt sselfishfor concentrating on me and not him.

I am sure 'he or she' would want you to have another critter in your life. Dogs want us to be happy.

I do want a new dog, but the wife says no. I think that we will get one in a few years.
