Awakening Day Four

Day four. Two days before Thanksgiving. I had forgotten to set my alarm clock. I woke up and looked at the clock. 2:56am. a little late, but not bad. I usually get up at 2:52am.
After my shower I usually sit and meditate for about twenty minutes before I dress and start my day. The house is quiet and I am excited to begin this morning's meditation. I think "a new day, the door awaits".
I sit, close my eyes and take a big relaxing breath. As I sit here, I find that my mind keeps wandering to things I want to do in the next day or two. Not stressed to do, just do. Again and again I try to settle into my few minutes and each time my mind goes back to organizing my time to get things done. As I sit there, I find myself smiling, knowing all too well this is who I am. I feel happy today and a little more settled than I have recently.
I know the door will open soon. It is settling for me to know where the door is. It is within reach.
