Day 1346

Is there anything quite like the quiet of the morning for reflection? The dogs are asleep, the world is just awakening and a new slate awaits. My best plans slowly mirror the sun and rise up as “possibilities”.

Even though my brain is a bit foggy so early in the morning, it still produces the best ideas and dreams for the day. It is almost as if reality hasn’t made an appearance yet. Plans for the day (and beyond), storylines for books, memories, big and little wishes, anticipation for what is to come all take their turn as my mind starts to sharpen and focus on the “musts” and the “shoulds” of the day. Those are important too.

What I quietly embrace are those hopes and dreams that take a backseat to my routines and commitments. Those beautiful thoughts marinate and start to slowly blossom as I walk through my “musts” and “shoulds”. Those are often a combination of the best within me and I nurture them…sometimes for days, months and years.

Hold on to those special, amazing, HUGE dreams that come to you. They are your heart whispering for permission to nudge out a few of the mundanes. This might be when you shine the brightest.

For the Golden Boys…well, I am afraid their hopes and dreams are focused on breakfast!
