Mornings

Slowly, is how I begin the day and after feeding the cats, it is time for coffee and a minute or two
of reflection as I swallow the hot liquid down into my body...

Gradually, my body responds and my eyes begin to absorb the light, reflecting all the colors of the day that form my environment... 

It is a time of careful awakening, realizing there is another world outside the dreams and fantasies of the night and the sleep that is sometimes, so hard to acquire...

Today is never another day like yesterday or tomorrow but always today, providing me with new opportunities, new chances, affording me new beginnings to take this day and make the most of it while it lasts and while I am mentally capable enough to embrace it...
