BETWEEN NAPS

(sigh)

Almost every morning my eyes pop open between 5:10 and 5:20 a.m., no matter what time I've gone to bed the night before. I truly am a morning person. I wasn't always.

Now, though, morning's the best time of day. I drink coffee -- sometimes iced, sometimes hot --and try to get some thoughts together for a blog post or two. I scan my email, check over my finances, read the paper. Most days, unless it's nasty outside, I take my second coffee and sit outside and enjoy the solitude with only the birds chirping now and then. Simple pleasures.

The older we get, the less it takes to make us happy......our health, people to love and inspire us, serenity.

And a good cupa joe.
