It is fresh as the warm sunshine that caresses my face. It is new as the warm wind that whispers into my ears the arrival of a new day. Strength infuses my limbs, energy creeps into my blood, and I savor the hope granted in a new day.
The morning’s infectious optimism overtakes me, and for awhile, I truly cannot remember anything. None of the sadness or frustration of the previous day enters my mind. No matter how bad the previous night has been, for those blissful few minutes, every hurt is gone, dissolved, has no more hold on me. Those precious minutes make me unself-conscious, weightless, and simply happy.
