My Morning.......

A Little Blurry, Just Like the Focus of My Eyes In the Early Morning

I usually wake up a few times during the night, but last night I slept like a baby.  Second stop:  coffee pot.  I like it dark and strong.  Fortunately, so does Cindy.

The Living Room is Still a Mess

So is the Dining Room

In the early morning twilight I stumbled through the mess that is our home.   We are still moving in, but boxes remain.  I figure it'll take about another month to have the place looking decent.  Whew.

Looking North From Our Rear Deck

Our Back Yard With Thick Hedges

I go out to the rear deck and sip the strong brew.  It warms my being.  I gaze at the summer greenery flourishing before me.  Two powerful mugs of java have my energy level elevated.  Time for my morning workout!

Looking Northwest From Our Front Porch---Note the Ridge Line in the Background

Looking East---More Ridges

Out the front door I go---the morning is glorious.  The ubiquitous Tennessee ridges that surround our home loom in the distance.  The air is cool and fresh.  Off I go to my spa, down Callahan Road to Clinton Highway to the community of Powell---about a ten minute spin.

My workout awaits---usually there are only a few people there this early in the morning, and today was no exception.  I stretch in the parking lot, then go inside.   Today I work on arms, shoulders, upper back, chest, abs and cardio.  I feel good---and fatigued---when I finish.  My day has begun.  This is a day the Lord has made---let us rejoice and be glad in it.
