Recipe for a rough morning

Take one dark and dreary day,

with the preceding poor night's sleep full of

Dreams that upset and confuse.

Sore eyes wanting to close,

Shoulders tense with unease.

Pick up a soft and sweet rabbit asking for a hug. Snuggle and pet.

Find lumbar pillow. Insert behind lower back in recliner.

Reach for a flavored coffee: half caffeinated, so as not to over stimulate.

Add a layer of cozy blanket throws.

Take a deep breath.

Close eyes.

Empty mind of confusion and worries.

Take another deep breath.

Rest.
