Finding the joy everyday
Day 19 2/19/24
It’s Monday and the 8:30 am alarm has rung. Lately, getting up early has been difficult. I feel sleep deprived since Christmas. I lay in bed and drift in and out of sleep. 9:00 am. Janie Many Toes wakes me up with her Meow and warm body perched on my hip. I acquiesce and say, “Good morning.” I rise and am greeted by my partner who hands me a hot cup of coffee and “Good morning sweetheart.” And, I hear and feel those words. I am someone’s sweetheart. Life is good.
