In The Morning

When I wake up, before I even open my eyes I tell myself something good.

It doesn’t matter what that thought is-

for example

sometimes I tell myself I’m going to start reading that great book, that I’m going to spend the day writing, that it might snow or storm and won’t that be great?

Sometimes I keep my eyes closed and I call my dog over and when I open my eyes he’s looking into my face and wagging his tail because-

my eyes are open and he’s probably thinking

” Her eyes are open. Oh Boy! Today is going to be GREAT! “

Mornings With Macbeth

My morning begins when my alarm goes off and my dog, Hamish Macbeth loses his mind with joy.

The second my alarm begins to chime, Hamish is jumping on and off of the bed. he’s laughing the way dogs laugh, he’s bringing me toys. He’ doing his happy dance and purposely bangs his tail against the wall.

If you have a Labrador, you know that tail can produce some power, so it sounds like somebody is ” Cop Knocking ” at your front door.

Hamish’s morning ritual is a very great one and I’m glad I am part of it because if I had my way I would lay there and spin a few dark thoughts around before I even open my eyes.

But in my case, it’s hard to let that happen when Hamish is peering down into my face and his eyes are  shining as bright as the Sun.
