This morning I sat at my desk to listen as the world started to wake up. The crickets are loud beside my desk. They “plick-tik-pok” and then “ruuu”. Vehicles go by fast “shoooooooshing” cars, louder “ahhhhhhhhhrrrrring” pickup trucks and even louder delivery and logging trucks. I don’t know how to write their sound.
But the sounds I am most grateful for here on this list are the furnace clicking on and the sound of heat moving through the baseboard and of the refrigerator starting up with a hummmmmm.
I am grateful for electricity that powers my house and keeps me warm and my food fresh.
Morning Gratitude
“Unk – haaaaaa.” The furnace clicks on.
“Pok, pop…tik.” The heat flows through the pipes.
“Ka-hmmmmmmmmm.” The refrigerator hums to life.
“…haaaat.” The furnace is off for now.
“…mmmmot” The food is cool enough.
I am comfortable and warm.
Happy to have noticed
What is often invisible.
Cool rock.
