And Your First 30 Minute’s Alarm clock (sigh) Perfect Persian pouncing (ouch) Last night’s mess Dog stretches Rocking chair a waits Perfect cup of coffee Darken shy, billowy clouds Slivered moon Tepid air, soft breeze Massive majestic tree’s Crowing rooster Spider tidbits Hoot Owl Wild dogs Crickets sing Second perfect cup of coffee City light’s Humming of man made devices Weather report Wear’s my cloths? Out of milk Washer off track and (NO) laundry soap Third perfect cup of coffee Trash day (yuck) Lunches out the door Dishes await Kitty kisses Computer hum Passions here I come Good morning By, Cerenity By all means add to this perfectly normal morning, "God doesn't have to be reminded that we exist. We have to be reminded that He exist!" (Writer Unknown) |

Perfect morning's just begun when sitting under rising sun that rises just to greet YOUR face and take you up in warm embrace and there is not a morning rare that I don't take a moment to stare into the face of moments to be and greet each with humility wonder of folks I've not yet met except for the wonder of Internet so it's no surprise that my computer resides by a window, so that He may look inside and be with me, and with you to follow us the whole day through... [Oh Cerenity...not to compare with yours, but look at what you did!] |

Cerenity, loved this. Alot can happen in the first 30 minutes of our day. And you describe it so well. I'll add some later on (at work now and no computer at home). Sunshine, loved your work as well. Absolutely beautiful, both of you. |

(from some time back) Wake Up Shower It's 5 AM Climb out of bed Bent over - erect To bath, half awake Sit back for release Tip pushed down Turn on shower To Kitchen for OJ Swallow vitamin Brush teeth Still half conscious Step in shower Life begins again Almost immediately Dream returns Tilt head back Hair wet - shampoo Your hair I'm washing Your scalp I'm kneading Your hair I'll be combing Long rinse Soap arms (Aren't yours softer? Shoulders, Chest (Should be yours) Scrub back - (yours again) Soft pubes - Oh yes! Eyes closed Feel you close Loud truck on street Reverie blown Soap legs, rinse Get out Day begins I really enjoyed C - thank you |

Smiling here .... what a wonderful way to start my morning Cerenity, I really enjoyed this verse! Grateful it's a Saturday today, and I get a little more time to play. Now about all these critters you've got!!! I bow in admiration for your menagerie of furry and feathered friends, for I've had: Beaker the cockatiel, Sheba the cockatoo and Piggy the Guinea Pig (all at the same time), then Misty the German Shepherd, followed by Kramer the GreenWinged Macaw, and finally ... Lacey the Australian Shepherd. How on earth do you do it all at the same time with 2 teenage girls and a husband!?!?! I applaud you!!! Loved this poem, have a great morning Cerenity! ![]() Best wishes, /Kit |

Cerenity, I also like to drink in the morning with my morning cuppas, three, in my case tea. Lovely poem Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |
