I woke up before the world did — or at least it felt that way.
No messages.
No urgency.
Just that quiet moment when the day hasn’t yet decided what it wants from you.
I sat on the edge of the bed longer than usual.
Not tired. Just unhurried.
Some mornings don’t arrive with plans.
They arrive with permission —
permission to take the day one step at a time.
If you are reading this early, know this:
you don’t owe the morning anything yet.
Let the day come to you.
