Husband is an early riser. He gets up early and stokes the fire And makes the coffee And puts my favorite mug On the wood stove to warm. Often he brings me the warmed mug And sweet aroma Today his gesture has pushed away The clouds And awakened the sun.
Today is the day to concentrate on the good. Look at this gift of time you’ve been given and don’t waste it. Write that novel, call that friend, read that Bible, paint that masterpiece, build that bridge, plant that seed….
Now there is time to wait at the window. Now there is time to do something new. Now is the time to let go of regret. Now is the time to recognize the gift of now; not then, not when, not ought. Now is the time to breathe.
