I hope these thoughts give you something to ponder while you enjoy your morning beverage. As you go about your day, I invite you to take some time to reflect on your observations. Consider if there’s anything you can do to enhance your life, such as looking into the mirror and appreciating yourself. You may also find a way to make the world more beautiful with a simple act of kindness. Perhaps you can hold the door open without expecting a thank you. You may also want to consider if you have a gift to share with the world. Maybe you have some untapped talent you regret wasting, as we sometimes do with unused towels or our good china. I hope you find them enjoyable and return for more tomorrow.
Tranquil Morning
I awoke this morning and got out of bed to open the windows wide
I was startled by the quiet outside
You see, the rail yard and roads are usually bustling with activity
I never realized I was in their captivity
The silence was deafening
In a way, beckoning
So outside, I stepped to find the sky full of stars
I think I could even see Mars
Inside, I came to make coffee and turn on the news
Then, I realized I did not want the reviews
So, in the quiet, I sit
Penning the words that emit
Dreaming of a day as tranquil
One in which I can only be thankful
Tranquil mornings are beautiful. Whether you have to leave shortly to go to work or you get to stay home, take a few moments and enjoy the silence.
The quiet gives you a few moments to reflect on how your day may go or the things rattling around in your head. Sitting with your morning coffee or beverage of choice, enjoying the tranquility before the rest of the world around you wakes up.
We will find many tranquil moments throughout our day if we stay aware. These moments can be used for gratitude or to collect ourselves to keep moving forward.
Today’s challenge:
Find some tranquility and enjoy it.
