Lately I’ve been waking up early
Sometimes a few minutes, sometimes an hour
Some days there’s so much anticipation, it’s hard for me to rest
March is a month of no breaks from school
It’s a month of transition
It’s often difficult and goes by slow
Waking up early I’m caught up in my to do lists
But today I seek to take a moment
Pause
Listen to the silence
Embrace the calm before the day begins

Yes! Love embracing the calm. It’s so amazing in the quiet of the morning.
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading Amy!
DeleteThis truly spoke to me! I will remember to pause and "Listen to the silence" more often this month. We need to cherish all the calm this month!
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading Kelsey! Yes, I'm working on listening to silence as much as I can this month as it is so busy for teachers.
DeleteYou capture the busy and productive days you have in that moment just before the day begins so well. Your post reminded me how I do the same thing, especially when I have a big day ahead of me. Thanks for the reminder to pause!
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading Sally! I'm really trying to wok on pauses in my own days as well.
DeleteThis is great! Enjoy the silence! I wish I could wake up early.
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading Jenna! It was a rare early wake up for me. I'm not really a morning person before coffee.
DeleteGreat post, Michelle! I especially liked these lines:

Anticipation takes so many forms! Enjoy the extra minutes! :-)
