My name is Martha and I'm from New Jersey. I'm a Pastor, which is a delight for me even though it also can be stressful at times. My favorite way to spend my free time is with my grandkids, 8, 5 and almost 3 (and another due the beginning of the new year). I have a tuxedo cat who seems to be the only one enjoying my insomnia because it means he has someone to pet him while the world sleeps.
I'm thankful for God giving me a keen sense of humor, and even more for people who make me laugh. I used to wish there were more hours in the day, until the last several months when I'm often awake for about 20 out of the 24 we DO have…and come to think of it, I find it ironic that the more hours I'm awake on any given day the less productive I am anyway…so I guess I should have been wishing for less hours a day! During one sleepless night while checking out a website from an article in a local paper that sells an all natural sleep aid, I found Insomnia Land. I'm sorry to see that so many people are also dealing with insomnia, but it's also kind of comforting to know that I'm not the only one wide awake while the world snores!
A mix of a lot of prayer and sheer determination have helped me hold on through the exhaustion. I look forward to sharing in community the struggles and successes of getting some shut-eye! I'm looking for advice from people who know what this insomina monster is, and maybe find some new friends who also think laughter is a good medicine!
Blessings 😀
