THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS

There are two things, well two times I look forward to every day.

One is when I decide it is time to clean the brushes, close up the studio

and go to bed. Not to sleep but to read, watch You Tube,

write or journal. It is a quiet time for me.

It is also a time for reflection.

Yesterday, my great niece posted something on FaceBook:

WHEN YOUR HEAD HITS THE PILLOW TONIGHT, 

REMIND YOURSELF THAT YOU

HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB.

BE PATIENT WITH YOURSELF, AND

REMEMBER THAT BIG THINGS ARE ACHIEVED

NOT ALL AT ONCE, BUT ONE DAY AT A TIME.

Wow, my great niece, found a definition for what I do nightly,

reflection.

A clear head and heart to begin the very next day like

rubbing an eraser on those old green chalkboards.

Not to make the same mistakes but to take those things

you may have done wrong or could have done better,

store them somewhere and learn from them.

BUT

Don't let the days of old weigh you down,

start each day as your would reboot your computer,

a fresh start.

My second favorite time of the day is my mornings.

I love sleeping in my bed that my daughter in law, delainey

calls  "the real cloud" but by 4:30/5:00

I am itching to get out of bed.

I have a coffee addiction. It is the first thing

I think of when my eyes open.

I love waking before others, to a dark outside

and the smell of my coffee brewing.

I take my sweet cup of brew, to sit on 

recliner heat pad in place and open up

this here MacBook and see what is happening with my 

friends in the cyber world. It's a time where I 

begin to form some type of blog or writing 

on a topic I either was a witness to or something

that is just in my head, clogging it until I get it

down somewhere.

I can't tell you just how much these quiet early mornings

mean to me.

These two things in my life keep me happy and

trying to be the best of me I can be.

I falter, we all do. Well except for Jesus as Jolee

points out to anyone who says someone is not perfect....

that is a whole blog in itself.

Find those things in your life that you look forward

to in your life and see them for what they are,

the things that keep your inner clock ticking....
