Feeling inspired - Late night pessimism

Inspiration is merely an emotion. It may be from wherever not just from within. You get a bright idea and decide to write it down. It flourishes and flies sky high. It takes you to places you've never dreamed of, and before you know it, you've closed your notepad and closed your eyes. You wake up in the morning and with new zeal after breakfast and that first cup of coffee, load the kids into the car late for school again. Your day is so busy at work until late afternoon and then you dash off to fetch the kids from their soccer, ballet, school play to get them home for homework. By the time dinner and homework is done it's ten at night and your eyes are heavy so you brush your teeth and slip into bed and forget about your hectic day. You wake up a few hours later inspiration dripping from your fingertips as they scuttle about to find a pen and scribble down another piece du resistance idea. It'll rock the world, take you to the top and before you know it, the pen has fallen from your hand as your eyelids fall to sleep and you get the much needed rest for another marathon day tomorrow.
