What Did I en-Joy this Morning?

I woke up about 6 am, a rather traditional morning for me.  I went about my routine.  I turned the coffee pot on, let the dog outside, then put her food in her bowl, and sat down on the sofa.  I do this nearly everyday. 

As I sat on the couch it occurred to me that even though I enjoy sitting with a cup of coffee, it is becoming very very routine.  This is a very mindless way of approaching my morning.   It is mindless.  It is mindless in that I’m not observing anymore.  I’m not thinking anymore.  And, I’m not present anymore as I go through this daily ritual a bit like a robot. 

So, instead of continuing to sit on the couch, I took the dog out front and we watched the morning come alive! 

​This is what we noticed:
  • Two squirrels chirping and playing on the branches of a nearby spruce tree.
  • Sasha sitting on my lap watching the squirrels. I wondered what is going through her mind.  She very involved with the squirrels.  And can’t do that from sitting on the couch.
  • The morning is warm to the skin.  I didn’t need shoes to keep my feet warm.
  • No dew is on the grass.  I know because we walked out there to ensure Sasha went potty.
  • It’s a little hazy out.
  • It is a beautiful day already!

​It is now 7 am.  It is time to get ready to start my work day.  I’m going to be mindful of the usual tasks involved in this traditional routine too – brushing teeth, taking a shower, and getting dressed.  I’m going to be involved in these simple activities. That way I won’t show up to work with a blue sock and a brown one!
Sasha and I hope you have a joy-filled, mindful day!
​
Warmly,
Vicki
