My best advice....Get a good night sleep!

Welcome to my Monday Morning Message

It is 10:38 p.m. on Sunday night, and I have no idea what to write.

I am sitting in my messy office trying to clear my mind and trying very hard not to think about the box of chocolate on top of the fridge.

I want to write something thoughtful, sincere and enlightening.

And nothing like that is coming.

What is coming is this: I had a really good day celebrating Father's Day with my family. I exercised, made the bed, showered, drove Rebecca to the airport, went shopping for new sneakers.

And now I am tired.

But I will say this: I did show up.

I sat here for two hours waiting for something wise or beautiful or even mildly useful to arrive.

And isn't that part of the work? Sometimes we sit down, we open the page, we put in the time… and nothing brilliant shows up.

But we showed up. And maybe that counts more than we give ourselves credit for.

So tonight, instead of forcing wisdom out of an empty tank, I'm going to give myself this advice: when you hit a wall after two hours, maybe the wisest thing you can do is wash your face, put on your pajamas, and get a good night's sleep.

Sometimes the breakthrough comes after the rest.

I love writing these Monday Morning Messages. I hope to have something thoughtful, sincere, and enlightening for you next week.

Until then.....Sleep well. Wake up fresh. Show up and try again.

Have a wonderful week.
