Working Day

Time to start moving

There are things to do

Expectations to be met

Plans to execute

People to talk to

and yet my bed keeps calling

asking if it could spend more time with me

Someday I will answer its call

but not today

My children need me!

Waking Up

The ritual has been started

The cats have been fed

Coffee has been brewed

and sipped slowly

The evil snow blowers

scare the cats

even though they can not get inside.

Other than breakfast

made and eaten

the ritual

is almost complete.
