magic on sunday: sleep on it 😴

i promise this isn’t a political post, even though i’m about to reference twitter and our current president.

lately, i’ve found myself gearing up to outrage-tweet at one of his crazy, misspelled, inaccurate 140 character statements. i’ll write something, delete it, rewrite it, delete it, and then close my browser.

it’s like, the only way i feel like i can respond and channel the initial shock of what he’s published is by angrily tweeting back at him, but when i actually go to do it, it just feels silly. like stooping to his level. (i also cannot believe that that sentence above describes our current political climate, but i digress…this is not a political post).

i had a similar situation on friday night. i was walking back home from dinner, and was feeling upset about something that happened earlier in the evening. i called my friend stephanie and she told me to sleep on it, that the initial disappointment would feel less weighty in the morning. that if i just gave myself a few hours, i’d see the situation in its true context.

and she was right. i knew she was. i knew this before i even called her. but it felt good, and important, to be reminded that sometimes our initial feeling about a situation isn’t a reflection of how we truly feel about it. sometimes it just takes a chance to sleep on it for our true understanding to reveal itself.
