I took a sleeping pill last night. I haven’t slept well for a few weeks and was in desperate need of rest. According to my fitness tracker I got close to seven hours last night. I can tell you it was exactly what I needed to reset my mind.
This morning's sunrise looks incredible to me. The hues of pinks and oranges calmed my soul as I sipped on my mushroom coffee out on our patio. My dogs happily busied themselves with the frisbee. Tug-a-war is their morning ritual. The birds singing beautifully made this a picture perfect morning for me. I can’t imagine anything better. This is happiness for me.
I have been tired and weary lately, but I understand now about the ebbs and flows of life. I am able to adjust to changes as needed. I have learned that resistance is futile. My pride used to try and control things. If something didn’t go as I had imagined I would unravel and be miserable. I constantly set myself up for disappointment. I had so much drama in my life growing up that I became used to it. When nothing was happening I often found myself creating some kind of incident to bring about drama. Crazy huh?
Today I value my peace. I hate drama. I try to avoid it at all costs. I don’t take part in gossip or get involved in others' problems. If someone is in need, I do what I can to help. These days I focus my energy on helping others. It keeps me out of my head and makes me feel useful. I prefer spreading joy over gossip any day!
I am so grateful for morning routines and peaceful nights. I am filled with the love of God. He truly restored my soul. I lived with feelings of unworthiness for most of my life. I now want others to develop their own relationship with our heavenly father. I guarantee that you will never regret learning your purpose in life. It is possible for anyone. God loves each one of His children. Don’t suffer in silence, ask Him into your heart today!
Now after a good night's sleep I feel ready to take on my day. I will make the most of it. I know summer will be ending in a couple of weeks. Then Autumn will be here. Cooler temps and colorful leaves to admire will be on the agenda. Until then I will enjoy every day God blesses me with.
Some of my morning routines: coffee on the patio watching the sunrise; anticipating what the day will bring; listening to the birds sing.
What are your morning routines? Any last minute plans for summer? Are you ready for Fall? Drop me a line in the comments. I’d love to hear your story.
Namaste.
