Good Morning?

You can either appreciate what life has to offer or complain about life as it passes you by:

Case One: The alarm clock chimes with the morning news. The warmth of the sun caresses her face. She opens eyes and smiles. It is morning. The cool breeze flows softly into the room. Inhaling deeply, she stretches as she climbs out of bed. She heads downstairs to prepare coffee. A cup of coffee in tow, she steps outside to greet the day. The scent of pine needles and wild flowers are in the air. The dew drops caress her toes as she walks through the lawn to pick up the morning paper. She hears the birds singing in the trees as she returns to the house to prepare for the rest of the day.

Case Two: That stupid alarm clock! Is it morning already? Hiding her head under the pillow, she grows aware of the chill in the air. She feels achy all over and she doesn’t want to get out of bed. She is aggravated; she needs to get moving or else she will be behind schedule. She needs coffee . . . She looks out of the window. The birds are making so much noise out there, you would think Ace Ventura was having a convention in the backyard. The lawn needs to be mowed, but with her luck it will probably rain. The paper boy threw the paper on the curb again! She reluctantly heads out to pick up the newspaper before someone else does. She is not looking forward to work. She doesn’t even know what she is going to wear today. She will probably get stuck in traffic again. She wishes the day was already over!

You decide.

  1. Both cases happen, but the first one is rare. Because organisation is out of our minds. Because life has made us behave in such an awful way!

    Each time, we have to do something. And, unfortunately, each time we do something about others and not for us. That's why we are anxious, we really don't know what to wear, we can't even see our clothes, because of the stress! We can't even express ourselves!

    And this is because, we don't communicate with each other, we don't discuss on different topics and problems of life, even through a blog like this and get inspired by stories, which are true...
