Morning Time

Life is good when you have a dog to remind you how exciting it is to get every morning. I stumble out of bed feeling vaguely grumpy that the morning has come around again and I have to think up about working once more. Downstairs she is already jumping up and down reminding me how amazing it is that I got up. I’ve tried telling her to calm down and that as a rule I get up every morning. She looks at me with those big patient eyes, and thinks to herself:
“just because its not unique doesn’t stop it from being exciting!
And look there is sun today!”
To proof her point she stretches herself out onto the thin strip of light on the kitchen floor on an otherwise grey February day.
Eventually as always I give in. She is right, it is a new day, and anything might happen. Granted the likelihood of anything out of the ordinary happening is pretty slim. But a little excitement washes over me. Another new morning!
