D is for Daybreak

Even though I can never seem to break my bad habit of staying up too late each night, I still love waking up early and watching the sun rise. To me, there's nothing more peaceful and calming than seeing the sky brighten little by little and watching everything that had been shrouded in shadows become clear. Daybreak reminds me that I have a fresh start; I've been given another chance to do things right. Amid all the chaos of life, I crave the perspective each new day brings.

Lately I've been anticipating the warmer mornings to come, when I can sit out on the patio with my coffee, a book, my notebook. Words.

There's no better way to start my day.

New beginnings

Today's 100 words:

Like most people, I consider the first day of a new year to be a time of new beginnings. It's a fresh start, a second chance to get things right, a time to reflect on our lives and the way we live them and decide if there are things we need to change, things we need to get right this time. The day always holds so much hope and promise. It's like having a new notebook with all those blank pages just waiting to be filled--but with what? We don't know. It's a mystery that hasn't yet been written.
