Reluctant to rise

It's grey today, and cold, and windy, weather that makes me reluctant to get out of bed. I'd much prefer to stay snuggled under my warm quilt, and forget my Friday workload.

But I'm remembering the series of beautiful sunrises a couple of weeks ago. And I'm remembering to be grateful that I CAN get out of bed.

To be grateful I have children to prepare for school. To be grateful I have animals to care for. To be grateful I have work to go do, and clients who will pay me for that work.

To be grateful I have breath.

Imagining a bright sunrise, I reluctantly rise to Friday.
