My posts are too short for titles

Trying to write early tonight but am already feeling sleepy.  This morning I woke up early with Dave and stayed awake:all day.  How sad is the fact that staying awake from 7:30 to currently 10:30 without taking a nap is an unusual experience for me?  I used to be the girl who could function really well with as little as 2 hours of sleep and now it's like I have to go to bed and sleep for a minimum of 10 or else I feel exhausted. Dave reminds me of the article that speaks of the study where emotional stress and activity is just as draining as physical activity and stress and therefore requires more sleep than normal.  I need to stop being so critical of myself right now regarding this.  My life has never been like this prior to now and it won't continue like this forever.  

Earlier today I went to Rockport, Ma as a day trip.  The weather was gorgeous and I just wanted to go for a walk and do some window shopping.   Oddly enough, I'd be better of going to Newport, RI for window shopping if I'm looking for a seaside shopping day as the stores are far better.  Rockport is more of an artist town which turned out to be just what I needed today.  I thoroughly enjoyed walking from one artist's studio to another and gazing at their work.  There's something inspiring about it.  With my writing daily, I've stopped dabbling in other types of artistic expression.  While I was walking I couldn't help but long for talents of my own.   I hate not having something that I feel talented in or even passionate about.  I've always been average at many things but never great at anything.  I want a niche of my own.
