Peaceful Mornings

What an amazing time to be the first person up in the morning and enjoy the quiet of the house just as the dawn is breaking? Although I must admit I unfortunately am awake long before the sun wakes up and starts it's journey across the sky -- insomina is not a good thing. I do find that I can accomplish so much these quiet mornings and love to sit on the porch and watch the neighborhood "wake" up. It's fun to watch the same people drive by each morning at the same time each day on their way to work. I am so lucky that I can (for the most part) stay at home and work from my office and can even wear my pajamas all day if I want to. Although productivity seems to be lacking when wearing pajamas -- best to get dressed in something equally as comfy, but a tad more professional. Sitting on the quiet porch gives you time to reflect on what needs to be done that day, what didn't get done yesterday, and what will still need to get done tomorrow. And as the sun slowly rises and the daylight softly creeps in -- I thank God for the beautiful day ahead of me and all the unexpected excitement that I am sure will follow.
