Its winter time I wake up from sleeping on the couch in the living room still warm from the covers that kind of warm you feel when you know its freezing outside but your inside and its all cozy. Its early in the morning 6 or 7 in the morning in fact with a dim sunlight burning through the loosely knit curtains and the warm light is filling the room with such a warm comfortable glow. Its around christmas time and the tree is still lit over in the corner with all of its colorful lights still shining like they were the night before. My aunt is up and the sweet aroma of perfectly brewed coffee is in the air, i hear a "good morning" to which i respond the same, theres the pitter patter of little claws hitting the kitchen floor its none other than Shug the skunk. Here she comes to the couch im still lying in and plops herself right at the foot of the couch, i greet her with a pet on her head and a good rubbing on her back *she loved that. My aunt brings me some coffee, the best coffee ever with the perfect coffee to sugar amounts it was delicious! Moments later everyone else is beginning to stir and awake, we all drank our coffee and ate a most wonderful breakfast and what a great start to the day before christmas.


its the simple things that i most enjoy like that first "good morning", or the warm sun beams shining to illuminate the room, a good cup of coffee, or the best pet skunk ever coming to say hello first thing in the morning. Those are the good things that make even the most simple things in life a paradise and a morning i'll never forget...
