There are some mornings when I just don't want to get out of bed. Not because I don't want to face the day, but just because mornings are so full of possibilities. In those first moments after I wake up, life seems perfect. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and it's a brand new day. The troubles of yesterday seem so far behind...
I know that just outside my window, the city that never sleeps is still wide awake. Out there, a disgruntled cab driver is yelling at his customer for underpaying him. A cyclist is weaving through the crowded streets, late for work. Out there, a stressed construction worker is lighting a cigarette while a frantic mother searches for a child that has wandered away. Here, in my bed, I'm free of worries. I'm free to gaze upon the handsome face of my boyfriend as he sleeps peacefully. I'm free to cuddle closer, delighting in the way he holds me safe and sound even while he sleeps. I can't help but think of how lucky I am to have a man that loves me so unconditionally. And while I'd like to stay in bed longer, savouring this peaceful moment, there's no harm having some company. I'm so grateful that almost every morning I can kiss my love awake and watch his eye slowly open. I'm even more grateful that I always receive a kiss in return. Yes... some mornings I just don't want to get out of bed...
