I am now awake,
woke, wakened, conscious and enlightened.
The world, as they say, is my oyster now.
I am ready more than I ever was
to make those changes I have been meaning to for years.
Find and work the job you love, they said.
On it.
A thimble of carbohydrates you said?
I am on it.
No caffeine or drugs dependency?
Done.
Exercise everyday and live mindfully?
Yes! That's my jam now.
Speaking of jam, sugar is slow poison,
fruits in the jam are GMO,
I am all in to abandon them.
"Who needs what done from me now?" I ask into the universe.
The homework assignment? Consider it done.
Getting a haircut? On it.
Fresh laundry and dishes everyday? On it.
Nourish the mind, body and soul? On it.
Reduce screen time! On it.
Spend more time with your loved ones. On it and on it.
Bring it my way, consider it done.
That's the power of this feeling of
being awake, woke, wakened, conscious and enlightened.
Wait.
Maybe that's just how I feel but I am actually not.
Because in retrospect, that nap I woke up from seemed
life changing and made me feel fresher than morning dew.
Dammit!
Where's the coffee?
P.S. Don't underestimate the power of sleep and naps.
