"The Twilight Zone"

Twilight is described in the dictionary as:

1. the soft, diffused light from the sky when the sun is below the horizon, either from daybreak to sunrise or, more commonly, from sunset to nightfall.
2. the period in the morning or, more commonly, in the evening during which this light prevails.
3. a terminal period, esp. after full development, success, etc.: the twilight of his life.
4. a state of uncertainty, vagueness, or gloom.

Interesting to note that twilight refers to both the morning transition between night and day as well as that of the evening.

If this transition is indeed a period of uncertainty, vagueness and gloom then I spend some time in the twilight zone generally every morning. Nightime is a safe time because you can close everything out, the demons are hidden, while daytime seems to chase them away. It's the time in between that is a challenge. I wish I knew the answer to this problem. While it occurs to me to try to reduce the time that the twilght lasts by getting the day underway, it unfortunately seems as if the level of gloom while in the zone is proportionately opposite to the time spent there. If I take my time I can work my way through it, but trying to bull my way through means more short term discomfort.

I need to solve this!

And Elly. Up yours! I've long ago admitted I'm an idiot and so from my perspective that precludes the need for any apologies of any kind!

"Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checked by failure...than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.”---Theodore Roosevelt
