Savory Beginnings

.(an unusually warm day w/high of 53 degrees)
A fine but busy day
Takes my breath away.
I wake to grab a cup of hot tea
And sleepily stumble upon my sister
And her husband at her special table
Near the fireplace.
Some friendly banter from Bhakti and Mark
Precedes the decision to prepare breakfast
Mark makes the eggs,
I chop the cilantro,
Bhakti preps the grapefruit.
It is pleasant to slow down
Way down from the frenzied
Chaotic pace of our week
Both at work
At work out
And in transit
And savor a meal together.
Added bonus: Sandro offers a taste
Of his special eggs.
