What could you do differently?

I could do many things differently, but first and foremost, I could wake up earlier instead of chasing balloons to fly in my dreams.

The ballon’s disappearance fades as I make coffee..

The coffee gets sipped while I do morning business of family care and honey-do lists, so if I woke up earlier, I could make a list and I could check things off earlier instead of shoot from the hip, but first and foremost, I have to go to sleep earlier because life is what happens in the middle of two book ends—between the going to sleep and waking up time, in which actions go forward but always rewind in reflection of what could have been happening in the rest of sleep, without which I could not survive.

Maybe I will start tomorrow or start tonight if I want to keep doing differently.

I will do this gradually so that it sticks and eventually it will not be doing something different at all.
