i’m sitting in the dark. well not quite, the christmas tree is on. and, as i sit here in the quiet, i see the sun trying to rise. the dishwasher hums. my husband and youngest have left for their day and the two home from college (plus one girlfriend visiting from indiana) are still asleep.
i love morning quiet.
i love christmas tree lights, coffee, sunrises and the hope of a new day. i love celebrations and family. i love boat rides with my son and his girl. i love all the kids hanging together without the parental units.
i think we can all be together sat night – all 6 of us – plus a girlfriend and a boyfriend. funny how things change.
i can see the keyboard now; the grey morning is slipping through the slats of the window shades. the tree still shines and it is still quiet, but for the hum of the dishwasher.
