It’s My Imagination

The Last Whale

As long as I can remember, hunting whales has been very controversial. Personally, I believe whales should be protected as should their environment. Having lived in Southern California, I can tell you that there is nothing more beautiful than seeing the fluke of a whale out in the ocean. I’m not really comfortable on boats and I can say that upon returning to shore I had to ask We went out there? I must also tell you, it was well worth the trip. These truly are magnificent creatures.

This fall, Freemantle press of Australia will be publishing the book “The Last Whale” which documents the war for the whales. As a result of this campaign in the late 1970’s, Australia became an international advocate for the whales. Be on the lookout for this special book in September, 2008.

Why Can’t I Sleep?

March 30, 2008 on 5:31 am | In My Imagination | No Comments

Last night, I was visiting one of my favorite blogs, and I read the author’s latest post Insomnia Stinks and it really hit home. There have been so many nights when I find myself just tossing and turning, unable to sleep. It truly is not a good feeling and the result is feeling so tired during the day that being productive becomes questionable.

I was so tired last night when I went to bed. I attempted to do some reading but couldn’t keep my eyes open to focus on the words. I closed the book, turned off the light, and attempted to sleep. I laid there for about an hour before finally falling asleep. Unfortunately, by then, it was around 11:30.

I slept fairly well until around 5 a.m. Then, I started the tossing and turning again. I finally just got up. I feel so tired. My eyes are watering because they’re tired and want to be closed. I would love to be asleep, but it’s pointless to lay in bed. So, here I sit.

It’s now 6:30 and Sleepless in Seattle is coming on television, how appropriate!

What do you do when you can’t sleep?
