Lazy Mornings

I'm still working to sort out some health stuff, and more than anything, it's leading to a lack of energy and long lazy mornings in bed.

Yesterday I got up early to meet a friend for breakfast, and after I was dropped off back at home ended up crawling back into bed immediately to nap for another couple of hours.

It's been a week for internal wrestles, and processing in a more private forum than this blog.

And a week for lazy mornings.  Eating, doing email, reading, writing and sleeping.

I'm thankful that I have time for that right now, that my life is in a place that allows for lazy mornings.
