Today, I Did a Miracle
At 5 in the morning, the crack of light had already sprung. Cloudy skies revealed that monsoon season is near. The luminous star was just starting to flaunt the beauty of her burning rays. It's a magnificent sight. Something priceless—declaring traces of the Creator's touch.
A cup of coffee was a good antidote to dozy eyes—it's my morning best friend (thanks to the person who discovered caffeine). Mornings without coffee is like bedtime without sleep. That's the significance of this beverage in my life for a long time now. Don't get me wrong, I am not a coffee addict.
Wondering why I was up so early, my husband got up and inquired. Couldn't blame him—I was not on my typical routine. He's more of concerned if something was bothering me. Of course, there's none. Today, I just want a change. He didn't go back to bed, couldn't go back to sleep. That's the consequence when he jumps off of bed. My bad?
Around 6, I decided to water our dying plants in the backyard. I was greeted by the warm breeze. A bit surprising. I know it's summer in the desert. But I didn't expect the tepid temperature at such an early hour of the day. Or perhaps, until now, I have not yet learned how my desert abode behaves.
So early in the morning, I was already feeling productive. It's a wonderful emotion I wished it happens everyday. I do not know if today marks the start of a constant morning routine. I do not want to promise—I may fail. But one thing for sure, I like the emotional effect of getting up so early. Execution instead of making a pact with myself is perhaps the best thing I can do. We'll see how things work tomorrow and the following days.
"She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls." - Proverbs 31:15
