Beautiful Fall Morning

Stretching out across my king sized bed and curling my toes into the freshly washed sheets, I totally realized what a wonderful day this is going to be.  The temperatures are in the low 50’s this morning and there is a slight breeze. Mike and I are not coffee drinkers, but we do love a hot cup of cinnamon cider on a cool morning, so I popped some into the teapot and chatted with the hubby as he prepared breakfast.  Now here I sit recording this morning for posterity.  

Most people complain about empty nest syndrome.  Not me, I absolutely love our mornings to sit and chat about the week or hold hands.  The  quietness of the house as we sip cider is blissful.  I do like the sound made on the wood floors as Mike goes from appliance stirring his eggs or rolling over the bacon in the pan.  I love to watch the joy he finds in preparing a simple morning breakfast.  I await his question of what WE will do with our day.  All the while, I am thinking, "Whatever you want baby." The day is yours and I just want to be along for the ride."  This is the stuff we have waited for. Time to be just us with all the discoveries that follow. Thirty-one years and there are still things to explore and learn about the man I call husband.

Well, my cider is cooling, and the eggs are almost done.  I am off to a beautiful day with the most beautiful man on the face of the earth.  This is what being blessed is all about.
