Grateful for the Simple Little Life on this Little Island Called Iceland

I woke up a while ago and can't get back to sleep, I hate when that happens! I woke up at like 6:30 this morning and didn't get a chance to relax until 7:00 pm tonight and ended upfalling asleep on the couch for half an hour. So that means I will most likely stay awake for another hour turning in my bed and before I know it it'll be 6:30 in the morning. So I decide to blog instead of twisting and turning in frustration.

I had a really busy but good day today. I drove to work in the morning and the winds were more than 20 mph, so I opened the window and let the rain splash on my face as I drove about 65 mph while singing some Tom Waits songs really loud. When I got home from work my son greeted me with a big hug and we talked for hrs. tonight. I am so grateful for having this simple little life on this little Island called Iceland. Yes the weather can really suck but when I get home after battling the storms I have a beautiful son and my 2 strange cats waiting for me. It cracked me up when I was changing my clothes tonight I noticed both of my cats sitting together and watching me intently as if they were waiting for me to offer them the meaning of life; all they need though was a little attention and fresh water in their bowl.

Yes I sit here at the computer at 2:30 in the morning and realize that all the good in life can always over power the bad things we have to deal with. I find myself wanting to go into a negative time frame sometimes and all I have to do is think of moments like tonight and I feel ashamed for even wanting to complain. I've got it good and that's more than anyone could ask for.

Need to try the bed again, maybe I'll get a few hrs. of sleep?
