Listen

It's a bull frog! A bird! A fish splashing in the pond! Another kind of bird! The buzzing of a bee! Guidance being whispered in your ear! Can you hear it? Are you LISTENING?
I have never been known to be a morning person. My favorite time of day used to be when I climbed into bed. AHHH. That feeling of my muscles and body knowing it is time to shut down. Yummy! But, there is nothing like taking the time to enjoy the "waking" process early in the morning when the rest of the world is still sound asleep... Or so it may seem. I indulge in my "famous" coffee, keep the TV and computer off, and breathe. My days always go better when I have taken that time for myself. There is something about being up before anyone else. The stillness can be energizing. The peace, that an early morning brings, is wonderful to the soul. I bathe in the sounds of nature, breathe in the spring air, and Listen. It also gives me a chance to think about what I can bring to the rest of the day and reflect on what yesterday was like. It's a great time to do some journaling, meditating, and just being present. It's glorious! So, I guess I have grown into what some call a "morning person". When is your favorite time of day? When do you Listen? Take the time to listen. Your soul starves for it. Your heart embraces it. Your mind needs it. AHHHH. Now that's the good stuff.
