I went back to sleep with out much effort at all because I knew the next time I woke up, I would be a bit more rested and it would still be early enough for me to get some of that still quiet time I enjoy so much. I opened my eyes again and it was 5:15. Perfect!!!
I took Waffles, my adorable little golden retriever, out for a walk about. "Go Potty, go on" I love the cool morning air and how the silence hangs like a sheer curtain behind the sound of the breeze and the chirping birds. I look up at the trees and the sky and I express my gratitude aloud. I look at the sky all the time. The big beautiful sky. I smiled the whole time.
Watching the sky always warms my heart because it reminds me of a time when Garrison was about 4 years old. We were on our way to his daycare one morning and from the backseat I hear his little voice say, "Momma, look at the big beautiful sky". I can still see his little index finger-pointing up to the beautiful sun peeking through the clouds to greet us for the day.
I have so much to be grateful for and the sky is a constant reminder. I love my life!!!
