52/383: Gratitude

After being short of sleep for a few nights I caught up. I'd only been awake for about twelve hours Saturday evening when I got the sudden urge for a nap, and I ended up staying in bed for twelve hours and sleeping for about eleven of them. Now I'm logy, of course, and probably will be all day. Well, not important. The grand scheme of things will proceed without my attention. It's not my scheme, I have no scheme. All I need to do is put one foot in front of the other, one word after the other, until it's time to sleep again. Outside, the day will go on, get warm, get hot, get cool when the sun leaves the sky, and I can ignore it all. I am vanishing, unnoticed, and it means nothing. This is what gratitude is for.
