Time to wake up

I had a lovely hour this morning, on my own, sitting all wrapped up in my snuggly blanket/wrap thingy in the sitootrie.

I had my cup of tea beside me and the heater on low, and I just sat. I let thoughts come and go. Mostly about the day ahead, the weather, how to have my shower and get ready for work without waking anyone.

I usually find it hard to just sit. I feel that I should be doing something...anything. But first thing in the morning, like today, is that wee bit easier because everyone is asleep. I have no lunches to organise, no one else to think about. It's too early to be doing laundry or emptying the dishwasher. And hoovering is totally out of the question! (Yes, I know ironing is a very quiet pass-time, but just go with me here!)

So I sat. Okay, I had to get a couple of times to let Gorgeous in...and out...and in again..but on the whole I just sat. I took my time and woke up to the day in my own time.

I've done it before, and I plan to do it again. It's definitely a good habit, and one of quite a few that I intend to get into this year! Wish me luck!

Today I am grateful for the new day to start as I mean to go on!

Gratefully yours.
