But, This Morning...

This summer's last leg finds me lost in myself.  Tummy issues.  Lack of staying healthy and doing anything about it.  Off centered and unfocused.  1,001 things bugging me.  I think the drought and months long heat have gotten to me and has withered me up.  With the newfound time I have on my hands I have decided to try my best to steer my ship in the right direction.  

I had a really hard time waking up today, but this morning...
I kissed my best friend farewell for 5 days and bid him safety and good luck on his journey (the journey of rock n' roll that is...we've got some big  shows happening in Omaha and Little Rock and I keep my fingers crossed they go well!)

I was in a brain fog, but this morning...
The rain greeted our world.  The windows came open.  The air conditioner was turned off.  The candles were lit.

I was dreading working out, but this morning...
I was encouraged by the rain and chose to do yoga.  Opening my heart and accepting the challenge was hard, but worth it.

I was cold from the windows open, but this morning...
I remembered this amazing sweater I picked up a few weeks ago (on a blazing hot day).  I found it digging through racks of clothes at a thrift store and instantly thought, "It's my farm sweater!"  I pictured myself wrapped in it walking about a drafty, old farmhouse (yep, still obsessing).  Chai tea in hand in the wee hours of the morning before my boys were awake and amid the heat, purchased it right then and there.  And today, today of all days, I got to wear it!  It's exactly what I needed.  The little bit of tiny goodness on a first day of redirecting.

I thought this morning was going to be just like any other, but this morning...
This morning was better.
