I usually get up very early every morning to have a bit of time to myself before the day begins. My routine is usually the same; start the coffee - extremely important first step of the day, straighten the cushions on the couch, open the shades and then take my coffee outside to enjoy in my backyard.
Here I just sit, be quiet and listen to the sounds of nature - birds, little insects flying around, the breeze as it floats through the trees. Living in the midwest, the weather is not alway cooperative, so I treasure the sunshine and my little outdoor symphony when ever I get the chance.
Have a beautiful day!
