Nature's perfect pallet

When you wake up with sleep crowding the corners of your eyes.
When you stretch like a cat and feel joints pop back into place.
When you feel the soggy lick of your faithful hound as he kisses your hand to tell you how happy he is to be alive.
When you poke a toe out to test the waters, and find it lacking.
When you snuggle down - just five more minutes - relishing in this half-awake, half-asleep time.
When you peek through the curtains with unbespectacled eyes and see this ...
Well, what can you do?

You spring out of bed, thank God for all the good things that are going to come your way this fine day and ask that you will learn from any lessons he tries to teach you today.

And that was Monday. =)
