A calm and peaceful Sunday morning in Naperville...

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Residential

Good morning!

It is Sunday morning December 15th. The clock reads 7:21 as I sit on my couch, touching the keys on my computer and relaxing peacefully…

My girls are asleep in their rooms. They both had big days yesterday, so I don’t expect them to be emerging for at least a couple more hours…

I love these times. My girls are with me at my home, and they are content, sleeping blissfully in their room…

Just having them here gives me peace. I don’t need to do anything with them, or entertain them in any way, but they are with me. I can feel their presence…

And life is good.

My candles are lit. My coffee is poured and I sip slowly on it, enjoying the warmth and the flavor…

I am eating my two pieces of fruit, which is part of my morning routine. Part of my effort to eat healthy. Today’s selection is an apple and a banana…

Piano music is playing on my speaker. So calming and beautiful. The music fits perfectly with the peaceful and contented feelings in me…

I look towards my day. It will be a good day. A slow paced day...

With only a single showing schedule for later in the day, my plans consist of attending attend church service at 9:30, still almost two hours away...

I have enjoyed going to church over the last few months. Never before a church goer, and not raised in a particularly spiritual household, there is something I enjoy about my 9:30 Sunday service at the Yellow Box in Naperville…

I am unsure of my beliefs about such things. However, I enjoy the atmosphere at this church. The sermons are often powerful. And the music is great too. But there is something more…

Just a feeling I have when attending. A goodness. Something about being in a large room, almost a concert hall environment, surrounded by people who feel so strongly about something…

People who believe so much in something not seen. It is moving to me…

And I absorb the atmosphere. The goodness of others. I soak it in. A great start to my Sunday…

I hope you are enjoying your morning as well. I hope that your heart is full and your mind is peaceful…

Life is good.

Ken

Ken, what a serene morning scene you paint with your words.  And nothing finer than have your children tucked into their beds as you slowly wake to a new day.  Enjoy your Sunday. D

That sounds like a lovely, peaceful morning to me Ken! Having your girls there is a gift - enjoy!  Are you going to be putting up a tree with them? Or....bake cookies. That would surprise them I bet!
