On A Chilly Fall Morning...

On a chilly fall morning,
after the family has all gone in
their different directions;
to their work or to school,
I sit. But.
Just for a minute.
To enjoy the start
of another new day, a new week.
Curled up in a chair,
in a warm, soft robe...
Holding a steaming mug of coffee,
listening to the quiet,
hearing these few minutes of my life go by
with the ticking of the clock,
taking a moment to admire the beauty in
a snoozing pair of dogs,
and that foggy fall scene just outside our window,
alone with my thoughts,
and breathing a silent prayer of thanks,
for all that I've been given.
I'm grateful, Lord for another new, fresh, unused day,
full of possibilities...
a gift you've given to us once again,
thank you for all of your blessings.
It was nice to start the day with
a quiet moment with You.


*I don't get to start all my mornings off in peace and tranquility, but when I can, it's a treat to listen to and be quiet...
