Savoring the Simple Morning Moments with My Kids

This morning was a peaceful and beautiful a.m. my life can be in its simplest form.

As soon as we woke up, I took my two sons outside to sit near the railway, just across from the fields.

There we stayed for a while.

No gadgets, noise, or rush.

Just the three of us, soaking in the cool morning breeze.

It felt so refreshing.

We sat on the edge of the grass, watching the green rice fields sway with the wind.

The sight of the wide open space, with fresh green grass, was soothing to the eyes.

Not far from us, a group of geese roamed freely.

They seemed so content as they grazed and wandered around, enjoying their own version of a quiet morning routine.

In that moment, I felt so grateful.

This is the kind of life I’ve come to appreciate—simple, calm, and meaningful.

No luxury needed, just moments like this where I get to spend time with my children and embrace the beauty of nature.

It’s one of the perks of living a simple life: there's more time to slow down, reflect, and appreciate what truly matters.

Because too often, we rush through our days, preoccupied with work, responsibilities, and worries.

But mornings like this remind me that it’s important to pause. To sit. To breathe. To be thankful for the little things like our health, the people we love, and the gift of a brand-new day.

So yeah...

Every day my goal is to start my morning with gratitude.

Take a few minutes to give my children the best possible start in life, not just for being alive, but for the chance to live with peace and purpose.

Enjoy the fresh start before the chaos of the day begins. (So I need to wake up early.)

And most of all, thank the One who gives me life, strength, and a new beginning each day.

Life doesn’t have to be grand to be meaningful.

Sometimes, all we need is a peaceful morning, our loved ones by our side, and the reminder that life, in all its simplicity, is already a blessing.

Until next time,
