Morning

Mornings can be hectic, trying to get everyone ready for school, all the lunches packed, beds made, hair brushed, breakfasts cleaned up....

And then there are mornings like this one, where I get up early enough to have a quiet meditation time just by myself, can take a hot shower, go downstairs and prepare a warm cereal. As I was lighting  a candle on the table, the little boy came downstairs exclaiming, "Oh yummy, I can smell something yummy." His expressive voice puts a smile on my face. Soon his sister follows and appreciates the warm breakfast and attention to beauty with the candle just as much. She however expresses it in a quiet big smile and in asking for more please, as soon as her plate is empty.

I am not even going to set the goal for this kind of a morning every morning, but I am shifting my attention towards it, to make the morning, the beginning of each day a warm and carefully chosen one.

Now I am ready to start my day at camp.

Oh happy day.
