Starlight, Starbright, 1st star I see tonight....

How I wish that was all it took to make sense of everything going on in my life. I'm trying to get plenty of sleep but at times it never seems like it's enough. I have noticed if I wake in the morning and sit on the side of the bed and start nodding off I will wake up talking  to someone or making motions with my hands like I'm doing something but once I wake it's gone. Kind of creepy to me. It doesn't matter if I have slept relatively good and was able to fall right back to sleep if I woke up in pain or had to go to the bathroom. I just don't understand how no more than I do most days that I should be this tired. My body is exhausted but my mind keeps trying to do things. I'm surprised I'm not sleep walking. I guess if it was easier for me to get up I probably would be. My question is....have any of you experienced anything like this? It kind of creeps me out when I wake up replying to a question someone has asked me or I'm trying to do something with my hands to make something or type something that someone has told me to do. I just don't know how to explain this, if it's even related to my Fibromyalgia or any of the other illnesses I have. I know it bothers me because I don't understand it so I was hoping some of you might have experienced this or know what might be causing it so I can put my mind at ease. I don't think I'm any crazier than I have ever been and I still feel so much love for family, friends, and most of mankind. This just really bugs me so if someone who reads this could respond and let me know if this is something I need to look into or if it's part of the Fibro World I live in.

My Friends

That's What I Call A Friend

You asked me, once upon a time,

What friendship means to me?

I didn't answer right away,

I had to think, you see.

I have had so many friends

Who have come and gone from me.

But each of them has left a mark

On who I've come to be.

Some of them did make a choice 

To move on with their lives.

But some of them stayed with me

and I've come to realize,

No matter if they come or go,

You're always going to find,

You've tucked them away so safely

In your heart and in your mind.

You draw from all those memories 

Of things you used to do.

They lighten up and make you smile

 At  the things you both went through.

So, if someone's touched your life

And shared everything with you

And kept you feeling loved and safe

Then that's a friendship that is true.

I don't care if they live next door,

Cross the country, Or half a world away,

When someone helps you through troubled times

Then that spirit of friendship is here to stay.

So to answer your question about friendship,

I can tell you what I know.

There are people I've never met face to face

But I love them as friends and so...

The friends that I've known through the years

Who've touched me in some way

Will still be remembered with love and joy

Even on my final day.
