Thursday morning

It's really early, just after 6 a.m., and the house is quiet. The kettle is boiling and in a minute or two I will make the tea and put a pot of coffee on. Everyone will get up, and the rush {and noise} will begin. We have to be out the door just after 7:30 a.m. today. Thank goodness for these quiet moments, and for the tulips at the end of our path. I must remember to stop and smell them on the way past. At the start of a crazy day, when I am overwhelmed with my list of things to do, tea and tulips are just the thing I need to remind me that life is good, and this too shall pass.


Aren't they beautiful?

Happy Thursday! Have a good day, wherever you are...

PS: The tulips are lovely, but even better are the lilacs, due to start blooming any day now!

  8. Those quiet moments in the morning are precisely why I wake up at 5am most days (though I slept in twice this week -- once until 6am, today until 5:50am). It's my time to slow down and appreciate the morning sunrise, the new day, and all the wonderful things in my life.
