random thoughts on the last monday in february

the sound of my husband getting out of bed

morning is still young

the sun is just trying to rise

kind of like myself

not an early riser ~ but wishing i was

the weather channel checked

he slips back into bed

for one last snuggle

giving me five more minutes until my feet hit the cold floor

will i ever like winter?

the sound of the coffee running down into the pot

and the smell of it - hitting my nostrils

ummmm coffee

rich, bold, one of the best things about morning

the next half hour is full of activity

getting dressed

giving my man a quick haircut

getting some of his stuff together for his night shift tonight

and eating miniwheats together

the neighbor's dog (Copper) barks in the yard next door

soon he won't come to say hi to me when i am out

i will miss his friendly dog-face :)

the sound of his truck leaving the driveway

a driveway that we will not be parking in for much longer

a wave of sadness fills me

another transition

another chapter in our nomadic life these days

and well ~ it is all okay

really

dishes on the table waiting to be cleared

dishes by the sink waiting to be washed

bible study lessons waiting to be finished for tonight's study

and packing

i need to begin packing up our stuff

not that there is much

but whatever we brought to this loft will need to be packed up

i don't think i will ever enjoy packing

but it has to be done

the day calls

while still early, there is a list of things to be done

while i would love to procrastinate

that does not solve anything

gotta just get going

think my bible study will be first

seems like my coffee would go well with that

and who knows ... i may just get a little visit in with my grandson and kids.

that in itself would make my day

oh, and before bible study tonight is supper together with my other kids

this day - with all its stuff

is going to be mighty fine

Mighty FINE!!

thank you Lord for this day - for the sun that shines - for the ability to experience life around me - knowing that you have it all under your control.  I love you and thank you for my life - for my family - for all that today will hold.  Amen.
