Joy of early mornings

Dearest,

How does this moment feel for you? How were the moments earlier today? What expectations do you have for the future moments? I'm hoping that you find joy in whatever they are.

Today I write to you as I sit outside in the early morning air. My coffee cup my companion. It's handmade with a mottled glaze making it as unique as our fingertips, as unique as every moment. It was made by one of those people that brings a wonderful energy to every interaction. It transforms an object into a connector. Whether it's because you think of them, or are reminded of a memory. Perhaps it's even inspiration about the potential the future can hold. That's what this coffee cup does for me.

You know that there are some things that I hold true no matter what my mood, the moment or energy levels

We are nature - we need to spend time with her, look after her, learn from her

We get to choose our hard - an "easy life" isn't a great life, go choose your hard and make a life that you get excited to tell the stories about when you are old.

We are all creators - you don't have to sell your "thing" to be a creator but make sure you create everyday, bring something of yourself into this world for others.

The morning air has a particular energy about it. It feels fresher and lighter as if the worries of the day haven't had a chance to weigh it down. It somehow injects a dose of positivity and possibility into the day. Perhaps you can take some time this week to experience it for yourself if it's been a while.

How are you coping with all the expectations of the holiday season? If they are getting too heavy, perhaps you can gently and kindly put the expectations of others down? Perhaps you can reflect if your own are actually needed to bring you joy, or are they just a habit that no longer serves you or your loved ones?

Whatever choices you make and actions you take I hope that you tread with an open heard and mind without judgement of the journey others are taking.

Take care Dearest - of yourself, of others, of your thoughts and of your actions.

You are worthy - always
