Through the frames created by the quivering, leaved branches of the huge silver maple growing right next to my window; my eyes follow the lemon-yellow orb as it rises from behind the mountains of St. Mary's Wilderness in the east. Morning has arrived.
I wake each day as if I live in a tree house - the sun's rays filtering through the leafy canopy provides serenity, a calmness.
The distinctive morning greeting of the male cardinal, perched at the tip top of the sugar maple tree, encourages activity.
I descend and make my way to the back door. I look out and see my five furry, four-footed friends waiting.
As I walk out of the house, I am whole-heartedly embraced. All tails are either wagging (dogs) or waving (cats) proclaiming, 'You're up, you're up!'
I so look forward to this daily A.M. routine.
What a fabulous way to begin each day. No improvement is necessary.
