mind games...

are not just with girls and boys. now i know what they mean when people say your mind plays tricks on you. it was 5:15 b was up for basketball and i was laying there in bed. my body was very awake but my mind was being really tricky. you don't want to get up it said. sharilyn is not coming so you don't need to. and then about the third thought was you don't need to exercise, you've been good all week. you need the rest. just lay here you deserve it. you don't want to go out in the tundra to the gym.

after a half an hour of laying there, not being able to go back to sleep and my mind thinking of all the reasons why i didn't need to exercise a spark of hope from a far dark crevasse in my mind came through. you have a treadmill at your house. the lone thought in a sea of darkness lighted the way. maybe i could pull myself out of bed and walk 30 feet away. maybe the mind games and dark exercise demons could be dealt with after all. besides, if i don't do it right now, i won't do it today, and then i would be sad.
