Night writer

Writing at night is a lot different than writing in the morning.

At night it's dark, scary and I feel like a creeper. The glow of the lap top (not even a warm glow) is the only thing that's keeping me company. Because it's night, I feel that I'm being sneaky and even the tapping of the keyboard is making me paranoid. My thoughts are heavy and accomplishments seem far out of reach.

When I write in the morning, the feelings are light and airy, it's bright outside and inside. It brings a breath of life that's missing in the evenings. I've also just had coffee.


Now it's night time. I don't feel heavy or gloomy instead, I'm happy because I've kept up my no-ice-cream goal. I even added a no Starbucks one. It's easy to follow. Every time I drive past a Starbucks, I quickly remember my goal and say: NO! You don't need it!
 I don't have fruit on hand so, i can't replace it with fruit. I have to use my own will. It's not a powerful will but, it's one that's been blogged.

Ah. The power of the blog. It used to be the power of the pen. Once you start writing your goals and dreams down, you have to reach them. Integrity and tangible stuff makes this possible.

The fact that I have a meal plan is, also, keeping me from pigging out on rocky road. I'm not saying, I'm eating healthy. I'm just saying: I'm not eating ice cream (the culprit of the toddler tantrums).

Hooray!

Soon, I will once again eat healthy. No more greasy burgers, no more bags of cheese puffs. It's only a matter of time. How exciting! I hopefully wish to return to my healthy cardiovascular and low "bad lipid" levels, as well.

I guess I am cheery when writing at night. No coffee is needed when the elation of reaching a goal is near. Maybe I should set micro goals more often.

Good night.
