📝 Morning Rituals: The Daylight, the Trees, and the Missing Squirrels

When I wake up, one of my favorite things to do is open the blinds that completely block out the light and watch the breeze gently caress the trees outside my window, fully embracing the new day’s light. 

I also have a little ritual: each time I gaze outside, I search for a squirrel. I used to spot one or two quite easily, as if they were waiting for me to discover them. They would leap from tree to tree, as if urging me to join in their play..

Nowadays, I can’t find any squirrels anymore, and I feel like a youthful part of my day is also gone. 

...

Yet, I never stop looking for them.
