Sunrise and Heart Secrets

Sunrise has always been magical for me.

The waiting for the sun slowly making its way back to the horizon gives me this beautiful feeling of acceptance. And peace and tranquility, And that spark of hope of a more beautiful future.

Last night, me and lil one spent time browsing through my new home design magazine. We pointed out which sheets we preferred and paintings that went well with the color themes. I have always loved looking at home designs, loved the feeling of actually having a dream house - with the kitchen and library I have vividly stamped in my mind.

AND last night, I learned that lil one loved doing the same thing too. She has the same bright eyes look when she finds something that picks her interest. The same beautiful wonder when she visualizes herself into the photographs. She was very quick to point to details- noticing even the things in the background. She noticed beautiful decors partially hidden by the angle which the picture was taken.

And that's a skill, a trait, a virtue? worth cultivating: Seeing the entirety of a picture.

This morning, as I sat and waited for the sky to turn bright, I let my thoughts wander. I sat with my heart open, and took in the silence of this beautiful world around me. And as I have come to terms with a number of things in my life, I found that lil space where I can come and sit comfortably every single day.

The little changes I have started doing seem like baby steps, but at least the first one has been made. Today, I offer my prayers and thanks to another day that can be spent for changing for the better.

Oh, the road to betterment is such a steep and difficult one. But I know, the climb will be worth it.

After this sunrise, I promise to:
Drink wheatgrass and honey before breakfast continuously
Drink more water
Build resolve to continue avoiding the stick
NO MORE Soda
Say Thank You more often
Add things to my bucketlist
Accept the line: What's wrong with being number 2? from Tuesdays with Morrie
Find a good book worth reading on a weekend
Start things rolling for the next big change

GOOD MORNING WORLD! :) Lil One is waking up now.
