Time

Found at Liz's...

You're the time of day right around sunrise, when the sky is still a pale bluish gray. The streets are empty, and the grass and leaves are a little bit sparkly with dew. You are the sound of a few chirpy birds outside the window. You are quiet, peaceful, and contemplative. If you move slowly, it's not because you're lazy – it's because you know there's no reason to rush. You move like a relaxed cat, pausing for deep stretches that make your muscles feel alive. You are long sips of tea or coffee (out of a mug that's held with both hands) that slowly warm your insides just as the sun is brightening the sky.

I do love that time of day when the rest of the world doesn't seem to have awakened. But I'm not "quiet, peaceful, and contemplative" nor do I "move slowly." And I don't do the long sips out of a mug as much as big gulps from a can. ;-)
