Morning Glory

I am an early riser in the morning, it is my best time of the day. I cherish the peace and quiet of the morning hours as I drink my coffee, read my newspaper online and stand on the porch taking in all of God's beauty that surrounds me. I thank God for all that he has given me and I appreciate it all.

I have always been the first one up in our family. My husband can sleep late and it doesn't even bother him when he wakes up and I have done a couple loads of laundry, folded them, done dishes or empty out the dishwasher, swept the floors, talked with the dogs and let them out to run in the morning air.

I rarely wait for my alarm to go off and I jump out of bed, ready to take on the tasks of the day. Now my husband, sleepily stumbles out of the room, eyes half shut, yawns and really can't make conversations until he has been up for an hour. He has to have his tea and Oreo cookies before he can even remotely make any sense. I enjoy eatting my old fashioned rolled oats with ground flax seeds every morning with coffee of course.

This is a picture looking out over our corn fields to the East. The sun is just rising, shining down on our crops to kiss their leaves with golden sunlight. The stalks reach up to greet the sun. It is a new day and a new beginning.

It is funny how we are all so different yet really are the same in so many ways. Life wouldn't be any fun if we were all the same. I thank God for the differences so I can learn something from others.

Good morning world!
