I don’t know about you but, at this point in my life, I rarely wake as quickly, as joyfully, as excited as my little ones do. For them, once their eyes open, they hit the ground running, ready to start another day.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the life we have and I am energized by the thought of a new day but I take a bit more time. Could be my age. Could be I carry a bit more responsibility on my shoulders. Or it could be that just once, I’d love to sleep until I can’t sleep anymore to try to get caught up on the umpteen-and-counting hours I’ve missed. You look at my red eyeballs and blueish-purple under-eyes and tell me what you think. :)
Despite the red and blue ocular regions, the moments spent laying together in bed are some of my favorite of the day.

Take care.
