Morning glory
I opened my eyes and checked whether I stopped the alarm on my mobile or pressed snooze. Confirming that it was the latter I returned to sleep and kept to this pattern until another 4 or 5 repeats. “I slept late,” I reasoned, “or perhaps I am aiming to wake up too early and achieve too much.” I continued, “anyhow I deserve more sleep” I buried my face in the pillow.
“Could it be that I am avoiding the list of things I have to do or that I have lost my motivation all of a sudden?” It is this thought that made me jump up and get ready for the day.

I never understood the process fully but I know that slumber can stretch into laziness and vegetation especially if it was the weekend and with no boss or other responsibilities to attend to, I would be snoozing all day. Activity leads to more activity and I had to just push that start button to begin.

Just you welcoming the day to embrace whatever challenges you may face with a fresh star, a revitalized strength and a renewed spirit. To start a day and make it another one of your own. To hold and remember. I woke up to more dreams to realize, more projects to accomplish and more moments to capture
