Today:

Woke up with a happy leap out of bed at 7 am (without the alarm going off or kids waking me!), looked out the window, noted to my great joy the daylight spreading on the hill, and started the chores of the day with a smile on my face.

Now, enjoying the quiet of the house as all have gone to work & school, having my day off.
Loads of stuff to sort out, but with a start like this, who can complain?
