Morning is a sacred time for someone my age. It is both a time of joy and anxiety. Joy, because I have lived to see the dawning of another day; anxiety because I am keenly aware that this morning means there is one less in the lifetime of mornings we are given. There is also joy in knowing that this day can be spent with loved ones doing the things that make us happy. There is some anxiety in knowing and accepting the responsibility of living the day to its fullest in service to others and for the betterment of self.
