I woke up this morning at 5am and couldn't go back to sleep. While sitting here with my window cracked a few inches to let in the crispness, I noticed how completely quiet it is. Except for the crickets, nothing else can be heard. No cars are driving by. No dogs barking. Not even the cicadas are making any sound, and this could be because we are entering fall. Already we have yellow leaves scattering the front lawn.
Oh! I just heard my very first bird of the day! Isn't it amazing they know daylight is coming even before it can be seen? I am hoping this peaceful start to my morning is an indicator of a calm and realxing week. I could use one.
