Quiet Morning Sunrise

Usually as I blog I can hear AdventureMan singing, whistling or humming in the background as he showers, shaves and gets ready to go to work. This morning, it was quiet.

“Is everything OK?” I asked? Qatteri Cat must have wondered too, because he got up when I did and went back to ask with me.

“It’s fine.” AdventureMan sighed. “I’m just tired of work. I need a vacation.”

It makes me so sad. Not every day is a great day. I love the days when you jump out of bed, excited about the plans for the day. I love to hear him humming in the bathroom as he shaves. I am going to fix him something special for dinner tonight, something he loves – stuffed green peppers. Of course, by the time he gets home, the morning funk will be forgotten and he will have new things going on – thank God, his work has a lot of variety, a lot of scope for his skills.

The sunrise this morning was spectacular:

  5. Thank you, Amu, and we are happy you are back.

    Wooo HOOOO Ansam! Sounds like a great new job. Peppers: I stuff them with rice, then cook on the stovetop, smothered in a tomato sauce with onions and lots of paprika.

    Heee heee, Amu. He has worked so hard, he really needs a good vacation. 🙂
