Good morning!!
I woke this morning at 6:33 am…
It felt great. The best sleep I have had in over a month…
I was happy to be where I was. I was happy to be with myself. By myself…
I lay in bed for 20 minutes just enjoying the quiet. The comfort. The peace…
The moment…
You see, I have been very busy over the last 5 weeks…
My mind had been so active trying to fix things, I had a hard time being in the moment, and enjoying that moment…
I have been apologizing, working on myself, celebrating sobriety, making amends, bringing joy, being outgoing, being the very best dad I could be, pleasing others, smiling, shooting videos, writing posts, working hard…
All good things, for sure, but it was also tiring…
Racing from place to place, always in a state of hyper activity, trying to fix things…
My relationships, myself, the world….
So when I woke this morning after 8 hours of almost uninterrupted sleep filled with funny dreams…
I was happy. Rested. Calm. Content…
For I have no great mountain to climb today…
Nothing so important to accomplish that I can’t enjoy the quiet…
So I chose to relax, wallowing in my comfort. In my peace…
And it felt good. It feels good…
So, as I lay still in bed, not yet ready to start my morning routine…
I wonder what my day holds…
Oh, there are things I will accomplish for sure…
But in a calmer manner. A slower manner. A quieter manner…
I will enjoy the quiet. I will enjoy the day…
For today is my day.
Ken
