Sittin, Thinkin

It's 6:30 in the morning here and I am just sitting here enjoying the wonderful smell and taste of my first cup of coffee.  Hook seems to be full of energy this morning tearing around the room tossing whatever he can find to play with in the air and then bringing it to me for a treat.  The phone rang a minute ago leaving me to wonder who else is up this early, unfortunately my phone battery was dead so when I picked it up it disconnected.  They haven't called back so I'm thinking it was a wrong number.

Steve just sent a text to say good morning and that he is on his way to Fredericton...another long day for him.  I'm thankful for the weather this winter...snow and ice on the roads leads to worry when people have to drive for a living.

When I first woke this morning my first thought was how great it is to wake up feeling rested and ready to start the day.  So many days recently I have just wanted to stay curled up in the warm bed so this has lead me to think some more about what things make me feel really happy.  Here's a few things on my list and I hope you will stop and think about yours and send them to me : )

1. That first coffee in the morning
2. The aroma of soup simmering on the stove
3. Puppy kisses
4. A hot bath with a good book
5. Phone calls or visits from friends and family
6. The look and smell of my house after a good cleaning
7. Crawling into a bed with fresh sheets and pillow cases
8. The smell of fresh cut grass
9. Memories that make me laugh to myself
10. Having a job I love going to every day!

It can be easy to get caught up in things that are going wrong in our lives, always wishing for things to change for the better or thinking I'm going to do that when I have more money but really, there is something everyday that just makes getting out of bed worth it.  Glad I took the time this morning to sit and think about it, arent you?

Have a great day my friends!
