One of my favorite new habits is walking with my friend every week at 5:30am. If you know me, you know I am not typically an early riser. My idea of a perfect Mother’s Day morning is Nutella pancakes in bed haha But summer is different, and it’s particularly different when the kids are away. Today, I woke up at 4:45 to pray then kinda rested until 5:15, at which point I finally got up and got ready just in time to meet my friend. I got to see the gorgeous moon as well as the golden sun. Most importantly, I got to be with my friend. Sometimes, it’s overwhelming to be alone. I guess I crave connection with my friend enough to wake up! Here’s to early morning walks! May I continue this habit into the school year and beyond! May God continue to protect and bless us and our families!!!
