Falling in love with waking up

Eyes open. Flutter. 

The faint light of sunrise or the dimness of predawn streams through the small rounds of my eyes. I feel my muscles move with a slowness, newly energized from rest. Tips of toes, fingers. My inner core. I can feel them and I am so happy. I smile. I say "I love you" to the day, to my own spirit.

I love falling in love with waking up.

I get to think. I get to emerge from slumber and feel the heels of my feet on the floor. I get to stretch and move towards the window to see.

Early dawn. How our planet Earth has spun around again so that the horizon greets the rays of our star. 

I get to see and feel these beautiful moments.

I love falling in love with waking up.

I remember when just walking and functioning in the morning was a struggle after my surgeries. I am so happy that today, I get to walk and run!, enjoy the views, and nourish my body, mind and soul all day.

Grateful.

I captured the rare moment when all the conditions are right for the sun to peek through the secret window. Miracles do happen.
