Good morning, sunshine. :)

I woke up to those three words today. Good morning sunshine!! It was the best start to my day. :) And now, as I'm about to go to sleep, I started thinking about what I'm going to do tomorrow after I wake up again. I am going to teach a cello lesson, probably mess around on my computer for a while, paint a playhouse, do some weeding, practice my cello, and then maybe try and motivate myself to exercise. Then I realized that it is now 12:24 in the morning, and I'm not in bed yet. That means I am going to be tired tomorrow when I wake up.... I don't really want to think about waking up. Finally, just barely, the bomb hit me. How lucky am I that I WOKE. UP. this morning? That means that I am living, breathing, and laughing. I'm still enjoying my life. There are so many stories on the news these days about young deaths--suicides, car accidents, drug overdoses. I really am blessed to still be alive right now. Right here, typing on my computer. I suppose you never know when your time will come to go, but I hope that mine won't come for a while. I want to wake up to good morning sunshine many, many more times. I want to practice my instrument, exercise, and paint playhouses many more times. Even though my days all seem to mush into one big, long trek through work and life, I am grateful to be here. I'm grateful for my friends and family and for the wonderful life that I am leading. So here's to tomorrow morning. Here's to good morning, sunshine. Here's to making tomorrow great and appreciating every single minute of it.
