Rise and Shine

This morning I awoke to the chirp of the birds outside.

All in the house are asleep but me. I have always been an early riser. I love the mornings, especially after a good night sleep. It puts things in perspective for me. I realize how truly blessed I am. I can carry on today strong again.

I make the most of days that I awake with energy, not overcome by my joblist jar or jars. lol Living is more important. Every moment is a gift....just like my blogland friends.

I used to always start a job and would have to work until it is finished. Not anymore....I putter, I sit, I ponder, I plan, I do a little, I sit some more and so the cycle continues. I t takes probably 3 times as long to do things now...but that is okay! At least I am able to do. Life is a gift, sometimes you get to see it differently, especially when you slow down, and you find reason and understanding of your situation. I my friends will be outside this weekend enjoying the warm weather....may get a flowerbed or two done, then again maybe not. I will go with the flow and see what happens. Could I be more relaxed? It is great when your worries seem to fade from you....when you realize you will always get through the ups and downs. I know there are way more ups than there are downs....Life is good.
