I woke up at 5am with a terrible dry mouth
fortunately I had a glass of water on the nightstand
instant relief once my mouth was rehydrated
just what I needed
my mind was wide awake now
I crept downstairs to the kitchen
made myself a cup of hot green tea
just what I needed
it was pitch black outside
everything was quiet
the perfect time for some creative writing
just what I needed
I sat down at my computer
emptied my mind and let my imagination run free
the words flowed freely onto the screen
just what I needed
a few hours later dawn began to break
I stepped outside to watch the sunrise
the birds sang as the sun crept over the horizon
just what I needed
I checked the tire pressures on my bike
clipped in a couple of water bottles
set off for a 30 mile ride
just what I needed
I came home refreshed and invigorated
but somewhat grimy
I stepped into a hot steamy shower
just what I needed
it was still only 10.30am
I planned to achieve a whole lot more during the day
my first task was a short meditation session
just what I needed
At the end of a busy and very productive day
I paused to reflect on the miracle of life
I poured a glass of wine
just what I needed
I wondered if the wine was the cause of my early morning dry mouth
not willing to give up drinking wine in the evenings
I took a glass of water to bed
just what I needed
