I woke earlier than normal and my fibromyalgia pain wouldn't let me return to a cozy slumber. Grabbing my yoga mat, I headed to the deck for a bit of stretching and meditation.
The noise of the morning became to distracting and I found myself watching the drama unfold in my backyard as one would watch TV.
Grab a cup of coffee and join me on the deck.
Shhhh... watch and listen.
Hear the fox squirrels making a ruckus running up and down old oaks. Oh, those red squirrels fighting for dominance and territory are loud. Look, there's a rabbit loping through the chaos looking for breakfast. Listen to turkey hen softly clucking, to announce her arrival. Penny thinks she's special. Twigs are snapping and old dried leaves on the forest floor are crunching, but we can't see what is making the noise.
A Blue Jay's shrill call carries across the tree tops, causing everyone to go on alert for a moment.
Two fox squirrels stand to look at with curiosity us while Penny eats.
A harvester spider joins me on my yoga mat.
I'm definitely not alone and I find this noisy morning to be incredibly amazing.
I'm relaxed, refreshed, and recharged.
If your heart is heavy or your mind is dark, take a few moments to step outside.
Close your eyes and simply breathe.
Listen to the sound around you. What do you hear? Human traffic? Wildlife? Nature? You will find, you are never alone but a small part of a wonderful big world.
Try getting up earlier than normal some morning. Enjoy the new experience.
Grab a hot beverage and your honey, absorb your environment.
