I kept Post-It notes on my nightstand and would write a stanza right before I fell asleep. Some nights I forgot to write…it wasn’t easy keeping track! Here is the complete ‘poem’:

it’s Sunday night, the Monday blues came a little early.

long, eventful yet draining weekend, I am prepared for the week that lies ahead

as my head hits the cloud, I fall into a well-deserved slumber.

it’s Monday night, I feel relaxed.

I feel content and satisfied.

Nothing to complain about, Thank Gd.

I am grateful as fall into my peaceful slumber.

it’s Tuesday night, I feel accomplished.

It was a productive day.

Despite my exhaustion, it paid off.

I checked off long overdue tasks off my To-Do list.

I feel accomplished, as I fall into a comforting slumber.

it’s Thursday night, I feel happy!

The week is finally over.

My work (job and academic) was more rewarding than usual.

I feel like I have a purpose.

I don’t know where I’m going but I know I’m going up, as I fall into an optimistic slumber.

It’s Sunday night again,

The week has fully revolved.

And I haven’t completely forgotten about this ‘poem’!
