It’s so easy to let moments, minutes and hours slip away on me. This morning I am practicing discipline not to do that. So here I am, fresh from a good night’s sleep to count my morning blessings.

1. I always look forward to waking up in the morning when I go to bed each night. I am excited to see the sunrise and light up my sunroom.
2. The sun came out at 6:30 this morning though the clouds hid it shortly after.
3. The greenhouse is lush with abundance. There’s cucumbers and bitter melons hanging on the vine. Some of the pepper plants have reached the ceiling. There are peppers to be picked. I harvested 2 ripe Black Krim tomatoes for breakfast.
4. I am enjoying my morning cup of tea with ginger.
5. I am grateful that I have the strength to get up, dress up and show up and that I can live up to my word.
