Tell her itās lateā¦Iāve got nothing to sayā¦
Tell her I donāt want to cry on her shoulderā¦maybe tomorrow weāll talk it overā¦
Mr. Sandmanā¦Take Her Awayā¦
Last nightā¦I stumbled from bed for a bathroom breakā¦and Bertha grabbed hold of the dream I was having when I woke upā¦you probably know how it goesā¦why was I dreaming thatā¦I wonder if it means anythingā¦hmmmā¦I wonder if that would workā¦how could I change thatā¦I wonder if that would workā¦
This of course is followed byā¦Iāve got to get back to sleepā¦Iāve got to get back to sleepā¦I wonder if I should paint the living roomā¦I might need a new sofa if I didā¦ohā¦I forgotā¦Iāve got to get a door prize for the fall carnivalā¦and a cakeā¦wonder why we have to get bothā¦Iāve got to get back to sleepā¦Iāve got to get back to sleepā¦Iām gonna feel awful in the morningā¦
Untilā¦finallyā¦you drift back into that stateā¦of relaxationā¦near sleepā¦floatingā¦ahhhā¦and the alarm clock blastsā¦or in my caseā¦Miss I never have to set an alarm clockā¦Bertha shakes meā¦itās time to get upā¦
Berthaā¦unlike my achy-breaky bodyā¦doesnāt seem require any shuteyeā¦I think she even enjoys our middle of the night conversationsā¦
One thing she did point outā¦that seems of noteā¦is that sleep is like lifeā¦you canāt force itā¦the harder you try to make it happenā¦the more it alludes youā¦itās best just to relaxā¦take some deep breathsā¦and let it happenā¦
Berthaā¦I love the insightā¦but couldnāt you tell me during office hours?

Boy did I need to hear that today… Thank you Bertha!
Bertha says you are welcome. I needed it as well…funny how she does that!
I thought of you when I did the post this morning…you'll get it via email tomorrow…and when you got out of your comfort zone going from good to great!
I so needed Bertha. My kids think I’m crazy when I tell them I have found an imaginary friend like they had as kids! She made me smile and laugh again. Thank you.
LOL…what do kids know? It is my belief that we all have a ‘Bertha’…that voice of wisdom within who can easily take on a persona all of her own. Perhaps, they are the same imaginary friends of childhood. Perhaps, there was just a time that the noise of our life drowned them out…perhaps. Thanks for visiting and commenting!
