Tuesday morning in the woods

I didn’t really sleep last night – thoughts of the past 15 years of my life were swirling through my head. Going in and out of a daze all night long I got out of bed at 5 am, went out on the deck and listened to the song birds waking up. Although I am exhausted, I take Jasper and make for Hidden Pond for a sunrise walk. We walked through the woods and along the creek – we watched the geese as they landed on the pond – we hiked through the woods as the sun came up. 1 hour later I drive up to my house, where my daughter is peering through the window patiently waiting for our return. I am happy to be home again.  I am so grateful for my family, my friends – and the beautiful morning I just experienced.

Now I am ready to begin my day.
