Pick-me-up

Have you ever been doing something and everything was going fine.. I guess in my case.. more specifically you were crusing right along reading and then that is when it HITS you.. and hits you HARD.. the urge to simply rest your head down for a moment and shut those eyes only for a second as to reflect on what you had been reading... and turning it into an opportunity to test the process of osmosis.... Your "moment" turns into minutes.. and then you wake up to your confusion as to how long you had been to sleep and how you fell asleep in the first place. But what puzzles me is what causes you to wake up? I mean you fall asleep.. but you always wake up as if an alarm is going off... but what causes that stimulation to be awaken?? It is as if you knew you were only able to take a few minute rest.. or maybe it is God telling you.. to get up and do some more work... I don't pretend to know why exactly I woke up.. but I did and while in that sleepy daze in which you have no comprehension as to time, where you are and how your hair got messed up I concluded that I needed a "pick-me-up!"

You know what a pick-me-up is?? Usually it is a time in which you are tired late at night... need a break or just something to that affect and you need something usually that contains lots of sugar and caffeine to if possible.. :) The sad part about me was the fact that I needed this pick-me-up by eight o'clock at night.. and that is not good if you know that you have more homework to do and not to mention that you are used to being up until the early morning hours... or at least the late hours of the night! :) Well anyway.. my pick-me-up consisted of plenty of sugar, but unfortunately no caffeine... and was strawberry flavored and came in the form of a smoothie.. and it was quite good... it cooled the throat in passing as it slithered down and hit the stomach with a satisfying collision. But none-the-less I think that pick-me-ups usually only have short-term effects.. and although the sugar rush was desirable.. I think that it is going to end very shortly which will lead to either a crash involving a pillow, sheets and darkness or another pick-me-up... It is a vicious cycle I know.. but such is life... so enjoy it and make the most of it.. and well include God in it... and let him be your "pick-me-up!"
