Watch, now, how I start the dayin happiness, in kindness. Mary Oliver
About This Quote

I usually wake up early to enjoy a brief moment of relaxation. I usually sit in a comfortable position and stare into the eyes that comforted me throughout the night. I think about the events of the day and how I can improve myself from them. If the sun is shining, I make sure to spread it over my face before going to work. In other words, I follow my own natural instincts and do what makes me happy.
