Possibility

The glow of the pre-dawn shone through the window as I became consciously aware that one leg was hanging over the side of the bed with a toe touching the floor. Suddenly, I was wide awake. Instead of trying to find another place of quiet comfort between the covers I found my way to the kitchen and the light of the stove clock indicating I had roused from my slumber an hour before the clock was to alarm. Undaunted, the normal routine of the day was engaged as the dog received her due attention with a run in the grass. As the sun rose over the eastern horizon gratitude engulfed my consciousness. A thankful heart whispered its acknowledgement for the grace that is another day. Another opportunity to discover possibilities that lie ahead is spread before me as the intended agenda for this day begins to consciously unfold. Today’s physical impediments are not obstructive barriers but rather recognized traveling companions on this journey of discovery.
