A New Day

I went to bed around 11:30 after playing Skyrim for 3 hours straight. I haven’t stayed up late enjoying myself with things like that in years except for the occasional instance that I’m usually not even fully aware of or engulfed in the happiness I should be feeling.

I noshed on a little bit of food around 7:30. And again at 8:30. Once more around 9:45. And a final bit of food before brushing my teeth around 11:15 happened too. I was hungry, I ate; I was thirsty, I drank. All was good.

I woke up this morning and could see a glimpse of light coming from my window. “What time is it?” is normally the first question that comes to mind. This time it was coupled with “Wow, that was a great night’s sleep. I feel rested and restored.” At the same time I felt an overall sense of contentedness and said to myself “Today is a new day, I will cherish it. I will love, enjoy and behold it’s glory, and I will do the same to my body because I have been given it to do the Lord’s bidding.”

I didn’t feel that overwhelming feeling of “Oh no, I overslept!” and for the first time ages I slept long enough to be this pleased in the morning.

May today be the beginning of a new day as well as a new chapter in my life. May God bless you all in your endeavors and wishes of the best of luck to you and your goals, whether they be to spend more time with loved ones, take better care of yourself, or play video games for an extended period of time because you know that you don’t have to justify doing so and that once classes start you’ll easily adjust to cutting back without any problems at all.

You deserve it.

We deserve it.
