Satuday Morning

Hands curled around a warm mug in the early morning stillness.

Learning to take time for me, to find my voice, which sometimes means saying, "No."

Learning to live with the frowns and the unspoken words of disapproval.

Realizing that I'll never ever get it all done, never ever get to the end of the "to do list."

Realizing that sometimes relaxing into the cup of tea means so much more.
