The best part of the day

Most of the world I inhabit sleeps on this morning and I enjoy the peaceful quiet. I awaken early because of thoughts but decide to use the time and have a variety of choices - do I read, write, embroider, knit....a world of exciting opportunities lies ahead. Such is the bliss of a middle aged woman's life. Far from becoming a grumpy old woman ( or at least being reticent about admitting to it) I find myself slipping into a world of delight at things in my youth I mocked in a knowing manner. And really not caring what anyone thinks. It's the liberation of middle age.
