Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

The Early Bird

November 5, 2016

I really like it when I can get up early in the morning – before anyone else is awake. I grab something for breakfast and a cup of coffee. I watch the sun come up turning the dark sky to different shades of blue and then bright yellows and oranges. I especially love the dark shapes of the backyard against the sky. Some day I might try to take a picture of it – it is so beautiful.

While the outside show is going on, I eat my breakfast and drink my coffee while going through emails and the few blogs I peruse. I have time to pause and think about my day and look at my mile long to do list so I can stay on track. I have added reading a book on spirituality and then, after reading a chapter, I pray using what I’ve read as a springboard to conversation.

Then, once the coffee cup is drained and kids are up, the morning begins – a bustling to get things done. But if I start off right – with that extra time for myself – my day goes smoother.

It’s a lovely routine and ritual and I think I need to protect it a little more.
