There’s a highlighter mark on page fourteen of that old notebook, next to Friday, 6:50am: “I just don’t feel right.” I remember sitting at the kitchen table circling it, because it was the same time as the Monday before, and the Wednesday before that. That’s the morning it stopped looking random and started looking like proof. My daughter missed over 100 days of school before I understood what that pattern was actually telling me. She’s now at her first choice university. The mornings that felt unfixable were never the whole story. They were just the part before I knew what I was looking at. If your mornings have a pattern too, you don’t need a year of notebooks to see it. Two weeks is usually enough, once you know what to write down.
