Things to be grateful for on the way to morning meditation

waking
blue sky or mist
being dry and warm
wellington boots
memories of last night's ritual
a fresh breeze
sound of wellies on wet grass
a bridge
the conch
another bridge
a cup of tea
sleepy morning conversations
gentle smiles
cushions
a blanket
gentle experienced words
companions
incense
rupas candles flowers
quiet
sounds of kids waking
snatches of far off conversations carried by the wind
my breathing
