THIS MORNING
This Morning, I woke up looking forward to the day ahead,
I opened my eyes and jumped out of bed.
My heart was full of all the joyful ways,
All the things I could do throughout the day.
My world is so full of possibilities,
4 the first time in a long time, I felt like me.
I remember this feeling from way back when,
So blessed to know that I could feel this again.
I am Home Alone, if you haven’t heard,
I was asked to describe it in just one word.
I couldn’t do it then and I won’t do it now,
4 God knows my heart and He knows how,
He knows how and only He knows when,
This Morning will be my normal once again.
I woke up this morning with an incredible urge to capture the feeling in words. It was a feeling that I hadn’t felt in such a very long time. I’m sure that since I have been a Caregiver, I have felt this way, but I really don’t remember exactly when that was.
I am so used to waking up, realizing that I am somewhere that I don’t want to be and with a severe longing to go right back to sleep–if only I could. And then I become annoyed that due to my Caregiving responsibilities I don’t have the luxury of going back to sleep–not even on a rainy Saturday morning. After those unpleasant thoughts, I may or may not find a clogged toilet which needs attending.
NOT THIS MORNING!
This morning, I woke up Thankful and Gratefule to be Home Alone. And I was anxious to begin the day doing whatever I wanted to do–absolutely nothing to do with Caregiving! I get to spend the day in any manner that I chose. Today I am not a Caregiver. Today, I am a daughter whose Mother is out of town! Today, I plan on having a good day–on purpose. TB2G.
