lots of mornings lately
find me in the porch rocker
sipping warmth
predawn
bundled up
rocking
bird-listening
star-marveling
witness to light overcoming darkness
hopeful and humbled
unassuming
anything at all about the day to come
(perhaps already missing the night
just a little)’
gentling myself into morning
breathing deeply
the chilled air
sharing in
the awakening of birds and dogs and chickens
somewhere beyond, a woodpecker
knocking out a hallelujah – it’s a new day
and me
cherishing all the shades of blues or grays or pinks in one morning sky
just today
the world around me suddenly
clouded or misted or fogged
like some morning mystery
and softly, silently,
poetically
it began to snow
one hopeful year 
This is lovely! I also enjoy the early mornings so much. Thanks for capturing that time so beautifully!

Thank you very much Karen! It’s become such a special time for me. I’ve learned I need time outdoors – even in winter – and sometimes I just have to find new ways to make that time happen within my schedule. Thanks for stopping by!
