Day 4
Rise and Shine
Peep, peep, peep Tweet
Peep, peep, peep Tweet
Hearing the bird chirping this morning as I blink away the blur of night's rest. I stretch and yawn noticing the sun rays poking in through the windows. Sending signals that day is dawning.
I wonder and wake in a slow-slothy way noticing these small details. I want to savor it today.
In our house, I'm frequently called "Rushy Lou". I deserve this name! My voice usually echoing through the stairway, hall, or kitchen,
"Hurry up!"
"We've gotta go!"
"Snap to it!"
"Shake a tail feather"
But not today...today is a day to be more "Pokey Sue".
I'm taking my time-
nature has beckoned my attention today.
So I sit in the quiet of the morning, still and calm. I need it-so I can rise and shine and start a new day.
Everyone else is still asleep...
Oh...
the joy
of being Pokey Sue rather than Rushy Lou.
Love this - without a doubt I am Rushy Clare as well. I too am up early with myself and the quiet of my house. It is so peaceful to enjoy the calm before the storm. Love this line: So I sit in the quiet of the morning, still and calm. I need it-so I can rise and shine and start a new day.
ReplyDeleteSo glad I found you this morning!

So great to "see" you here, Amy! These leisurely mornings are the best, aren't they? Love the silly nicknames you've been assigned. Haha!
