Good morning, everyone!!!
As you know I love mornings with no one around but me and the furbies. Everything is so quiet (okay, so the crickets and tree frogs are a bit noisy, LOL). I love this time of day almost as much as I used to love my late late nights.
I get up these days at the time I used to go to bed. When the kids were little I just hated to let go of the peace and quiet. So I would stay up later just to have a few more moments of silence and contemplation. Now, I get a LOT more of that but I get up early to grab a few moments of silence before the day begins. Where people need things from me, text messages begin, or the phone rings.
This is my time to breathe. I take in the solitude of life and embrace it. No one talking. No one needing anything. Just silence and peace.
This is my time to get my thoughts together. Make my game plans for the day or week ahead. To clear my head and rest my soul. It makes for a better day when I can wake up fully within the quiet of the morning. Lately, things have been insane. This morning time for me has been my salvation. It allows me to regroup, prepare for what is ahead.
I have the next two days off which will be wonderful. I have a house to put back in order, because with two furbies that shed like there is no tomorrow the vacuum is a must around here. Then I also want to do a good cleaning on the bathroom, because we'll have the kids and grandkids all weekend here at the house. This is how I will spend my first day off this week :)
I don't know if normal people require this morning silence. But I know my writer side is always desperate for it. I have to put my thoughts for the day in order before I can people. Otherwise, I am a hot mess.
I need the sounds of nature to reenergize my soul. I need the darkness to give me insight. I need to breathe in that early morning air to refresh my mind. I need the feel of fur sliding between my fingers as I pet one or both of the furbies. I need the feel of their unconditional love first thing in the morning to get my day started on the right foot.
Mornings were never my forte, but have fast become the thing I need most in this life. Funny how I could stay up to this hour back in the day and feel like it was late at night, but now, I get up at this time and feel it is the start to my day.
This morning there is a drizzle of rain. Which adds to the calmness of the morning here on the back porch. Not enough to keep the furbies from prancing about the yard. Nor enough to keep the frogs and crickets quiet. The birds are waking up later and later which tells me this time of year is almost to an end.
I think ahead to the day. Deliveries like crazy at work. The hustle and bustle of how this day will go. How fast the time will fly. It's the prep work I do in these early moments that get me through.
I guess it is that time of day already. Where I need to get out of this chair and into some work clothes.
Everyone have a lovely day!!!
Blessings to all!!!
