And when the day is done, I&#8217;m happiest when I see that most of them are checked off for the day. And so I go to bed, but instead of going to sleep right away, I think about things. Things like ideas that I&#8217;m working on, and of how I&#8217;d like things to run around here. <\/p>\n<p>And it just occurred to me that I daydream at night. Mostly.<\/p>\n<p>And I stopped myself one night because this made no sense. Why shouldn&#8217;t I daydream when I&#8217;m awake, instead of doing this at night where I&#8217;m haunted by possibilities and get all worked up and unable to get into a restful slumber?<\/p>\n<p><strong>I&#8217;ve come to realize that my days were filled with things I have to do, that I forget to think about the things I want to do.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>And therein lies the problem.<br \/>\nTurns out wandering does wonders for the mind. <br \/>\nBut a wandering mind at night just&#8230; wanders. <\/p>\n<p>Daydream instead.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p><em>Have a great start to the weeks folks!<\/em><\/p>\n<h5>Image by <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.scoutshonorco.com\/post\/7852170602\/todays-special\">Scout&#8217;s Honor Co.<\/a> \u2013 a stationery studio based in Burlington, Vermont, who hasn&#8217;t been getting proper credits on Pinterest!<\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> &#8230; <a title=\"Daydreaming at night\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/2012\/04\/30\/daydreaming-at-night\/\" aria-label=\"More on Daydreaming at night\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37012,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_generate-full-width-content":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2221"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2221"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2221\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32237,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2221\/revisions\/32237"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37012"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2221"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2221"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
