The Most Underrated Moments In Life

The alarm clock rings.

You turn over and the clock reads 5:15 a.m.

With a heavy heart you get out of the comfort of your bed.

You push your soft, warm blankets away with a heavy sigh and look up.

The sun outside your bedroom window has barely risen yet which gives the whole day a sense of calm.

You go down and brew yourself a hot coffee.

The smell of the dark brew is somehow refreshing in these early morning hours.

You take your coffee and open your garden door and step outside.

The cold morning air and the smell of the wet earth hits your nose.

It’s quiet. Everybody is still asleep. Even the birds are not making a sound.

The day has not yet truly started and somehow, just for a moment, everything is okay.

This one moment here before the busyness of the day starts, there is nothing going on.

There is no stress, no problems, no negative feelings. Nothing.

In this one moment, everything is alright.

Moments of peace and quiet, moments of reprise, moments, single moments, where the world stands still.
