"I want to live my life so that my nights are not full of regrets"- D.H. Lawrence

I'm a night owl.
Even late at night, nearby streets I scour, I prowl.
Ending up at a nearest video store for a late night check out
or a coffee at Tim Hortons - and some timbits for take out.

But lately, with the cold weather seemingly unbearable
plus another layer of clothing, it has been impossible.
It's perfect though, just like tonight, at 10 or 11, to be in bed,
leave the night lamp on for added heat; to curl in each other's arm
cuddle, embrace, just be near and make each other warm.

We just got a new book, "The Better Part", a joint gift for Christmas.
It's a good read for novice Bible readers, that best describes us.
We loved that it explains every New Testament verse, allows us to understand,
to analyze, to know Him more, meditate, pray, share and discuss.

Also tonight we partly watched, "Charlie Wilson's War" and "The Bucket List" -
both times failing to finish as we dozed off from tiredness.
We even forgot to say our usual night prayers
and most of all - buzz a goodnight kiss.

I would love to prowl the streets,
to be a night owl, to be awake I really tried my best
The spirit is willing - but we need to rest.

I'm a night owl - a nocturnal animal alright
On most times, I'll be - - but not tonight.

Tim Hortons Rules of Ordering - When you want a coffee with NO sugar, DO NOT say no sugar it sounds like your saying “one sugar” - so what do we say? we keep quiet I guess...
