{good morning} senses

Moving on to week two of Inner Excavate-along, we are exploring our senses.  This morning I chose to take the time to notice all of my senses while sitting on my patio enjoying my coffee.

With the beginning of another day 

My cup of coffee in hand

I eagerly make my way outside

To enjoy the fresh smell of the morning

To feel the warmth of the sun.

Leaning back in my chair,

Breathing in the fresh air

While admiring the blue sky,

The aroma of my coffee is comforting

As it warms my hands.

I relax & just listen…

Birds cheerfully singing,

Squirrels scampering & 

The breeze lightly rustling the leaves.

The green of the trees, the grass &

The array of colorful flowers

Make for a beautiful view.

Walking bare foot thru the grass

A puddle from the evening’s rain

Leaving foot prints as I go.

I feel grateful for this quiet time

To reflect on the day’s beauty

Knowing starting my day

Appreciating all that is

Is the perfect beginning

I seek.
