Outside, the severe weather has begun to roll in. The torrential rains have burst through the clouds making their presence heard from my vantage point.
The sound of pounding drops of rain is almost soothing, until rolls of thunder and flashes of lightning remind me of how dangerous severe weather can be.
But, I rise from the comfort and warmth of my bed anyhow determined to begin the day the way I envisioned the day before.

As of this Slice, I have accomplished 2 out 3...progress not perfection, right? I still have time to workout, if I so choose, before we leave. Eh, we'll see.
But as storms have rolled through this morning, I'm reminded of the fresh start rain can bring to the earth; how rain washes away layers of stagnation so new can be brought forth.
I'm not sure if its the stormy weather, an adequate quality and quantity of sleep, or both; but today I feel refreshed...no longer stagnant but ready to take on whatever comes my way.

I'm excited to see how they each turn out.
4 am! I love the way the rain can make us feel refreshed and the way you've described it is even better.
ReplyDelete4 am?! Your power hour is really early. It gives you a good start of a day. The freshness after the storm adds extra spark.
ReplyDeleteI love how you recount your morning sharing your thoughts and the tangible things going on around you. Wow! You rise early. I admire that. I also admire the refreshed feeling. I have not felt that way in the morning for a while. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you're relaxing! I'm trying to figure out how 4 AM also means you had an "adequate quality and quantity of sleep" LOL. You are so awesome; I want to be like you!
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued by what Backwards Poetry is?
