The Quiet Stillness of the Morning...

I woke up late this morning. It is Thanksgiving, and I felt no need to hurry out of bed and jump into my day. There was something different about this morning from many other mornings for the past couple of years...the ideas. I used to be a person who woke up in the morning to ideas, people I should write notes to, things I should do, quiet nudgings came throughout the mornings. It was just the way things were before law school and I never thought much of it. I used to keep little post-its and notebooks by me through out the day in order to keep track of all of the thoughts, promtings, and ideas that would come on a regular basis. The margins of my college notebooks are filled with notes of thoughts that came during classes or while studying. But with the intensity and anxiety of law school, my mornings for the last few years have been waking up and focusing on accomplishing the tasks that needed to get done.

So, if there is one thing I am thankful for this year, it is the quiet stillness of the morning in which I know that God is real. It is at those times when I am most aware that He loves me and everyone around me...down to the details of their lives.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.
