I sat on the couch this morning, sipping my coffee and watching the sun come up. I love those peaceful times in the mornings when it is just me. The "me time" I need when no one else in the house is awake (except maybe the mouse we think is living in the garage, but I try to avoid to him and am thankful he avoids me as well!). It is when I read my Bible, when I read other books (time permitting) and when I reflect on things.
This morning as I was staring out the front window, sipping that delicious cup of coffee (nothing is as good as my first sip of the day!) I started to reflect on some things that I did over the weekend that were weighing heavily on my mind. Decisions I made that I wish I had made differently - nothing earth shattering or anything like that, but some simple decisions that were not the best of choices. It was good reflecting and I made some new decisions as to how I can change what I already did and how to not make the bad choices again. I rely too much on myself sometimes - sometimes I think I don't need anyone else to help - not my husband's help, not God's help, not the help of friends and/or family. I can handle it all. I realized today I can't do it all alone. There are times that asking for help or relying on others opinions and advice is necessary. I think after all these years I am finally ready to accept that.
Even though it seems as though my morning time this morning was depressing it really was a good thing and I feel quite refreshed and renewed this morning!
Off to continue this glorious day (it helps that the sun is brightly shining and the birds were chirping outside the window!)

The quiet time in the early morning is my favorite time of the day too! Glad you had a good quiet time this morning.
