Serenity

While my day no longer begins at midnight as it did in my newspaper delivery days, I still prefer waking long before dawn pushes back the night and enjoying the quiet house, morning prayers, and that first cup of coffee long before any humans awake, when only the cats are scampering about clamoring for breakfast.

My first Facebook post of the day is always a scripture verse since it orients my mind and heart to what I value most, listening for the will of God and carrying it out. This morning, I've already played with a story that won't be due for another week, and I have three more waiting for some preliminary editing before I perform the final copy edit and submit later this afternoon before leaving for an adventure (of sorts).

I love new beginnings!

The upswing of two working weekends and part of my peacefulness this dark and calm Sunday morning is that I'm caught up with my freelance work (temporary, I know, and yes, I do have a full week planned, no surprise to anyone that knows me, I'm sure) and look forward to spending some time editing Staked!, possibly even during the week, as well as the coming weekend.

For now, as I recline back in my desk chair gazing out my window and into the blackness, there's only the hum of Rebekah's fan, an occasional soft "Me-ow" from Alex, and a centeredness that feels so awesome.

Welcome, Sunday.
