i dont have a zenny candle burning
i am not drinking a warm mug of tea or coffee
i am super comfy on the couch.
i got up early this morning to run and since there was a sprinkling of precipitation, i just could not go outside and do that. i am a complete fair weather runner, always have been, and running in the dark and rain, well i just dont do it. i need to have really good conditions.
so i am taking that time to sit and listen to the rain hit the side of the house, the splashing sound when the cars fly by, which they do a 5:34am and my favorite, the birds tweeting waking up the sun. im hoping the sun comes here soon or maybe it is just going to be a rainy day.
either way i am thrilled! i am up early, showered and taking some quiet time. i am hopeful in 20 years i will be able to do this often, and if all goes as it is in my master plan, it will be waves i hear crashing in the background not splashing cars, but for now this is one of those things i wont take for granted.
generally, i just dont wake up well, i am a snoozer, i love to hit snooze and the next thing i know i am running behind in time, so rushing people and myself along.
i also do not get many moments where i can just sit here on the couch and listen and be. it is pretty much never that there isnt a person here with me on the couch, or dancing around in the kitchen or heck, even yelling from their bedroom. most often someone is telling me what is needed, where i am supposed to go, or what it is they would like to do.
i highly recommend this, waking early and taking in the day. it needs to something i do more mornings. wake early and relish in the morning, the morning waking up with me.
upstairs the people are beginning to stir, alarms are starting to go off, sleepy, shuffling steps are being taken. sleepy chewy is looking at me like, it is time. i am hearing the mumbled annoyance in voices that will lead to raised voices to 'get up!' and then even louder 'i am!'
today i am grateful for this morning, i was able to sneak down the stairs and have an early morning chat with Alexa:
'Alexa, hallway light 50%'
'ok, hallway light 50%'
'Alexa, level 2'...jeeze why does she yell at me so early! dont wake the people!
'Alexa, play quiet music.'
she responds in a whisper, 'here is mellow folk, from amazon music'.
'thanks, Alexa'.
she never gets the thanks, Alexa, since i am saying Alexa second, i hope she knows i am thankful.
