I Think I’ve found a way to beat insomnia

I think I've found a way to beat insomnia, it's call writing. I have to be to work tomorrow at 6:00 AM and I won't get home until around 7:30 PM (if I'm lucky). I work the election polls tomorrow, which means I can't leave until after the polls close. I have my lunch pack and everything ready to go. In the morning all I have to do is take a bath, get dressed, make some coffee (not necessarily in that order), and leave the house.

The problem is I can't sleep. I think I know the reason. I have set a goal to write, at least, 2,500 words between sunset of one day and sunset of the next. The problem is tomorrow (Tuesday) I won't get home until after sunset. That means I may not achieve the goal. I think that's the reason I can't sleep.

Therefore, I decided to get up and make some blog entries. My offline journal entries I can compose while I'm working the polls. I only have two offline journals. There is my gratitude journal and Writing my Spiritual Journey. I can compose those entries while I'm waiting for people to vote. However, since I won't have access to a computer, I can't make my blog entries then.

The entries for Writing my Spiritual Journey and the Gratitude journal aren't difficult because I write letters. I have given my gratitude journal a name and address it as Dear Glory. The letters in Writing my Spiritual Journey are address to Baha'u'llah.

I think writing is working because I'm starting to get sleepy. I am going to spell check this entry and then post it.
