My eyes slowly flutter open as the last remnants of a dream are chased away by reality.  I wasn't quite sure what woke me up first, the aroma of fresh brewed coffee lingering through the air or the beaming rays of sunlight flooding through my bedroom window. Nevertheless, it was time to get this Sunday morning rolling. 

Slowly pulling myself up and out of bed, I throw on a robe and pull my long, messy hair into a loose pony tail and make my way into the bathroom to brush my teeth and get motivated for the day. 

Once I get downstairs and grab a cup of coffee, I walk outside and sit on the back deck to smoke my first cigarette of the day. The spring-like weather didn't chase me back inside the house like it normally does this time of year. I could sit out there all day long if life would only allow me to do so. 

I see two hummingbirds pecking away at the bird feeder, the same bird feeder my son had made me for Mother's Day two years ago. Then both birds flew away into the bright daylight sky, blending in with the others for a sweet chittering song.

I then catch sight of four deer out in the distance along the tree line. One of them staring back towards me as the others were eating from the grassy field along the wooded area. All the little things in life I once took for granted are the things that fill my mind with peace and serenity.  

Then before I know it, I hear a tiny voice from inside calling out my name, letting me know that my job as a mom is about to begin. 

      💙Happy Sunday Everyone!💙
