The narrative reflects a contrasting dynamic between the author and her husband, Neil, after nearly 60 years of marriage. She relishes her tranquil mornings infused with nature and music, while Neil embodies productivity, immediately diving into daily tasks. This daily ritual highlights how their differing approaches to mornings create both tension and balance in their relationship, emphasizing the significance of individual preferences in long-term partnerships. In the quiet warmth of her porch, the author finds solace, despite Neil's eagerness to tackle their day's agenda.
Warmed by the morning sun and awed by the heavenly fragranced lilies, peonies and lilacs, I'm luxuriating on our screened porch in my pajamas.
Neil, my husband of nearly 60 years, is trying to get my attention. Doing my best to keep him from breaking my spell, I feel a bit guilty as I turn up my music.
