Dreams in the darkness

When Emily woke up at 2:55 this morning, Johnathan sleepily pulled her from the crib and passed her in my direction. I fell back asleep with her in my arms, but awoke to strange dreams around 5:00. I was burning up and felt as if I might ignite if I stayed under the sheets a moment longer. Hungry and dying of thirst, I placed Emily back in the crib and padded to the dark living room for a glass of water and some fruit snacks. Once there, I read a magazine article on happiness while contemplating my dreams. A study found that individuals who kept a gratitude journal were more satisfied with life. Recording thankfulness and strictly happy moments is something I have intended to do for quite some time. This blog has been lacking entries as of late because I never wanted it to simply be a record of day-to-day life. This journal was intended for higher thought and dreamy poetics. I simply haven't had time for either. Perhaps this will be a good gratitude journal until I have time for my musings once more.
