It was a surprise. And not a good one.
The result was waking up earlier than I wanted – and not drifting back into the peaceful novocaine of sleep.
Then I remembered this: “Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?” (Jesus said that in Matthew.) Worrying won’t fix anything. In fact, it will probably take away more than a moment of my life.
So I urge you – and me – to stop worrying.
I worry that I worry too much.
And, sometimes, I do what singer/songwriter Beth Orton does; “I can’t sleep for counting sheep”.

I love that Mark Knopfler song.
Tim’s excellent choice is SO much better than the Bobby McFerrin song I was going to mention.
