Peace

Dear Delyara, I woke up at 5:00 a.m. today, not because I had to, but because I wanted to see the world before it got loud. I sat on my porch with a warm cup of coffee and watched the fog rise off the grass in the park across the street. For thirty minutes, there were no emails, no news alerts, and no 'to-do' lists—just the sound of the birds and the cool morning air. I felt a sense of peace that I haven't felt in months. I realized that happiness doesn't have to be a big event. Sometimes, it’s just the luxury of a quiet mind and a slow morning.
