Ramblings

Wake up late, dragging tired limbs from the soft sheets. Rub my eyes and take a moment to breathe. 
I wander downstairs to grab coffee. Watch the kettle boil and feel my toes on the cold tile. 
Nestle into the chair, steam coats my face. The dregs are gone, the day awaits. 
But first, it’s shower time. A moment of warm refresh. Remove yesterday’s abrasions and start anew. 
Shampoo and soap. Floral and lather. The warm waterfall fills me with triumph. 
Fresh and new, I am ready for my armour. To step out and face it all again. 
Bring it on, I can stand against it all today!
