Sleep?

Do you ever wonder what it is that keeps you awake at night on those nights that you just cant seem to get to sleep? I do.. I think it is strange because, for one, I had a long day. I ran around and played soccer, wrestled with my mom and brothers, walked to downtown Carlsbad for coffee, and shopped around for 4 hours. When I came home from shopping I was so ready for bed.. and yet I am still awake and it is 3:15AM. I watched a movie and usually, I will fall asleep during a movie late at night, but I watched the whole thing without drifting out once. And what am I doing now? Listening to my playlist, texting an old friend, and well, blogging. And I still dont feel sleep creeping up on me.

But I wonder what it is that is keeping me awake. When this happens, I tend to think a lot.. or get really creative and want to draw or paint something. But in this case it was thinking, and I was thinking about some of the people I havent seen or talked to in so long.. One person in particular, lets call him Peter, was on my mind most, just becuase he used to be one of dearest friends and it has been over a year since I have even talked to him. So as I was thinking about how Peter is doing, up pops an instant message from him. Weird. And now we are catching up and sharing stories. These are the kinds of things I wonder about.. Not the cheesy "oh so and so was thinking about me too," but like if I wasnt awake so stinkin late, maybe I wouldnt have been able to catch up with Peter. And it could be anything. Maybe I will all the sudden think of a Bible verse that will mean something, see something on Facebook that I didnt know about lol, maybe I will realize something or get the urge to write, or something like this; being able to catch up with someone I miss.

I dont know why, I just think it is interesting. One thing I am not looking forward to because of my mind not wanting to sleep yet is that I will probably sleep in really late and have a short day tomorrow. Lol.
