Alas, it’s Friday. It’s been one of those weeks when Tuesday started before Monday ended. We’ve all been there. Long days turn into late nights. We’re exhausted, but somehow we make it to the weekend.

Lesson #6: Embrace the second wind.

On Tuesday night, or technically Wednesday morning (the earliest morning of them all), I got a second wind. After hours of working on the computer, the last thing I thought I wanted to do at 2:30 AM was write; yet, that’s exactly what I did. My apartment was so quiet and still that I decided to embrace the moment to be creative. My second wind enabled me to write and tweet a haiku, which I share here with you.
