While sleeping peacefully in the early morning hours, an unexpected loud noise of wind whistling from the bedroom window awakened me. The next thing I knew, a stream of cold air came flowing underneath the covers, causing me to jump out of bed and rush over to the window to shut it tight!
As you might imagine, all of this excitement at 5 am left me wide awake! Instead of lying in bed for another hour, I got up, walked over to the refrigerator, grabbed a bottle of sparkling water, got comfortable on my easy chair, and began reading the last two chapters of this month's book club selection.
I finished reading around 6 am, then went outside to walk and crystallize my thoughts for tomorrow's virtual book club discussion.
After summarizing the key points into my journal app, I stopped near the Colgate Clock to relax. I stood there for 12 minutes listening to the soothing sounds of the foamy waves splashing against the rocks and admiring the bright lights reflecting from the skyscraper behind me, producing a pretty yellow tint floating on top of the river.
When I looked up at the clock, it was 6:54 am, and I took a final moment to appreciate the beauty of nature and then hustled over to a Yoga class a few blocks away. 😊
Share your thoughts, and have a fun weekend!
