My mornings are the time of the day that has changed the most in retirement. I am not woken by an alarm and I spend it slowly drinking coffee while I catch up on the world. I am able to spend the entire morning outside on the patio if I wish, which is now easier to do on a day like today when the temperature is cool even with no clouds in the sky. The cicadas are still singing their summer song while a chipmunk frantically gathers food and stores it in her nest. I am blessed.
