Early morning wake up call

Oh thank you Jehovah for this early morning wake up call. The first breaks of the morning light. The holdings of huge exhales.

Demanding me to stand up and seek. Seek your delights given to me this morning. Oh how I waltzed down my hallway recognizing the need to exchange laundry from dryer to basket, washer to dryer and basket to washer.

Now I lay on my bed in a darkened room just grateful to hear only the thunder of my heartbeat. Such a grand gesture you have given me today. An opportunity to breathe.

Even now as I lay here I am awakened deeper by the need to step to my balcony and truly enjoy the breaking of the morning.

Up up I go. Brushing the apple cider vinegar fresh hair. Free from a matted mess to a single plait draped over my right shoulder. Grabbing my cup and my journal I exit into the air.

From one angle the day is already sticky, humid but from another it still quakes in a cool breeze. Listening to the birds talk I just absorb the flavors of the morning.

Just behind the treeline the sky decorates in reds, yellows and oranges. The brilliance of Jehovah's paintbrush is decadent this morning. I am patiently awaiting the break.

My day begun just not as I had expected. I had hoped I was going to sleep in yet my mind spins circles as soon as the eyes crack open wider.

The necessity to get out of bed was immediate.  The long sighs echo in the light blue sky. One day at a time I must walk. I must be grateful. 

Just listening. No hearing aids. No negative thoughts. Just forms of peace. The lessons of nerves will test me today, I understand but I trust Jehovah will help me overcome, endure the trials.

Ah I just inhale. The sweetness in the air. Mimosa drawing my attention and the crispness in an already thick air. Indeed the soul is relaxed and excited at the same time. The spirit is ready with power of holy spirit.

Indeed a refreshing morning I am glaring at.

How about you? Did you wake to find thanksgiving of Jehovah in the small, ordinary things of life?  Love? Happiness? Did you?

If not sleep some more and be grateful when you do wake once more.

I give you hugs when you do.
