Upon waking this morning, for the first time in ages, I was greeted by that delicate glimmer of light that is soothing and refreshing to the soul. I lay there smiling with my eyes closed, relishing the moment and carefully shifting my body so that I cradled the rays of the sun as I would a gold blanket that enfolds me.

I felt grateful, alive, warm, and loved. I felt that life was a glistening road and that today was only the beginning.

I'm still riding that high and hope to rise and shine each and every morning.
