I love the quiet of the early morning. Sitting in the dark with my coffee, planning my day, a little meditation and listening to the sounds in the house.
The air conditioner kicks on. What a blessing for central heat and air. As a little girl we had the swamp cooler. I remember sleeping on the living room floor in the heat of the Oklahoma summer where it was just a tad cooler. I don’t know why I am such a heat wimp now. Spoiled I guess.
My 530 alarm just went off. On my phone, that’s not attached to a wall. I had a wind up clock with the big double ringer on top. That would wake you from the dead, no sleeping thru that. Now I’m lulled awake with music that gradually gets louder. Spoiled
I can hear Troy in the bedroom, a low growl of a snore. Comforting. A reminder he is sleeping the right bed. It’s hard to sleep without hearing him next to me. Spoiled
Blessings come in so many shapes, sizes and sounds. Take the time to enjoy them.
Stop.
Stay quiet and just listen.
Your life is reminding you just how spoiled you really are.
Don’t take it for granted.
