Its no secret that I love the morning.
It's my very favorite part of the day.
Just me and my coffee, waiting on the sunrise.

awwwwwww.

I especially love the sounds of the morning.
A clock ticking.
A distant train.
& quiet.
Lots and lots of quiet.

Any minute now, I'll be hearing the sound of my new buddy.
A woodpecker has set up shop somewhere on my big, bald  tree
& although I've looked, I haven't spotted him yet.
But, I sure can hear him.

& since I've taken notice of his wonderful sound, I know he works from early morning until late evening.

Doesn't matter that his tree is big and he is not.
Doesn't matter that the weather isn't all that perfect.
Doesn't matter what is happening in the confusing, chaotic world around him.
The other bird's opinions sure don't seem to bother him.
The little guy is on a mission
& he is getting it done.

That lovely, continual drumbeat is becoming my simple, morning reminder.

Yep.
No matter the distraction, the time, the opinions or the noise.
Oh Yes, I Can.
Oh Yes, I Will.
