Morning Glow

I wake up to the alarm at 6 ish
plan on getting up
ehhhh no
put it on vibrate so I dont wake the girls
and also so I don't sleep longer than planned.
I jump in the hot shower which always feels like heaven first thing in the morning.
I rush to get dressed realizing my shower time was longer than planned.
I think I must fall asleep in there
or zone out perhaps.
I get dressed
try to start walking to the train by 7:40
usually it's 7:48.
I walk fast to stay warm.
Put my ipod on...an array of opera
today I choose to listen to John Mayer once again-
I zoom past it about half-way through
need something uplifting.
Lucia sextet is the next option...
then it's some Simon Keenlyside
then some Boheme.
Before I know it I'm at Grand Central.
I get out and push my way through the masses of people.
Luckily I'm only a block away.
Walking past the Gap
then Duane Reade...
I smiled this morning
as I saw a couple
walking towards the same building
they embraced
kissed
said I love you
and then parted ways.
Love really does abound
even on the most bitter of mornings.
It was a nice glow of the day before heading into the News Building for work.
I found out the worldst most amazing coffee machine which is here also does espresso.
I have loaded up on caffeine today.
MUST drink water--have to sing this evening again.
Rehearsal went well.
Still unfamiliar with people.
different personalities make me smile.
Reminds me of why I love what I do.
Some great voices in there.
Hopefully the move will take place soon.
The world continues to move.
As the world turns...
All is well on the homefront.
