Now I know that some of you grew up listening to morally questionable music. (For those of you who didn’t, may God bless your sensible parents.) Many of us, however, will probably spend the remainder our lives working on detachment from shady and disreputable music.
That said, I had an epiphany this morning. So I took a Selfie, because I felt so good. This is me below.

Perhaps you are familiar with Ms. Mariah Carey’s number 1 song, Emotions, from 1991? Maybe you dismissed it as just another sappy, love song? Well, it turns out, that Ms. Carey was actually writing a song about what it feels like to sleep through the night.*
Yes, that’s right, and to prove it, I’ll put the lyrics below. (Click HERE for a youtube version of the song.)**
I know her song is about sleeping through the night, because this morning, when I woke up after having slept for five whole hours in a row, which is almost as good as sleeping through the night, I immediately heard her song Emotions come to me, as if from on High. I felt like dancing! I felt like David before the Ark of the Covenant! To put it in her own modest words, “I feel good. I feel nice. I’ve never been so satisfied!”
Of course I immediately thanked God for the miracle of five uninterrupted hours of sleep. And then, after Morning Prayer, I blasted that song for the goodwill and posterity of all.
I hope you all had a good night of sleep too. And No, I didn’t drink a pot of coffee this morning. I didn’t need to after sleeping that much. I only drank two cups.
Abridged Lyrics for Emotions by Ms. Mariah Carey
You’ve got me feeling emotions
Deeper than I’ve ever dreamed of
You’ve got me feeling emotions
Higher than the heavens above
I feel good, I feel nice
I’ve never felt so satisfied
I’m in love, I’m alive
Intoxicated, flyin’ high
Deeper than I’ve ever dreamed of
You’ve got me feeling emotions
Higher than the heavens above
When I rise
You are the first thing
On my mind
It feels like a dream
I don’t know if it’s real
But I like the way I feel inside
You’ve got me feelin’ emotions
Deeper than I’ve ever dreamed of
You’ve got me feelin’ emotions
Higher than the heavens above
This made me laugh! What 90s gal didn’t rock out to Mariah? Come to think of it, the 90s was probably also the last time I slept well!

Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve slept well since the 90s too…!

This was really funny! Today I could sleep three extra hours and it felt just like that.
