A Tranquil Morning

I woke up with the crisp sun rays shining through my window

Slowly I stretched and got out of bed, my warm blankets getting tangled in my feet

I got ready for the day, comfortable but still professional enough for the public

I left my place and walked down the street to the corner cafe for breakfast

I got seated at a table and opened my laptop, ready to work

The waitress brought my lemon tea and croissant rather rapidly

I smiled, thanked her, and continued to write my novel while I ate

I slipped on my headphones to listen to my favourite songs, drown out the voices of other customers 

Hours passed while I was writing and in an instance I was brought back to reality by the soft rain falling outside the cafe window

Soft grey clouds had covered the once sunny sky and a peaceful rain was enveloping the city

The twinkling raindrops hit the window with a quiet delicate thud

I put away my laptop into my bag and left the cafe to walk outside

The wind made the autumn atmosphere feel more present, coloured leaves blowing in the air

The smell of the rain brought back memories of my childhood, playing outside with my friends and siblings

I got back to my flat and made a cup of rich hot chocolate

I curled up on the sofa with my hot chocolate, my white fluffy blanket, and the book I was currently reading

My kitten, Obsidian, jumped onto the sofa to join me and I pet him gently, still enthralled in the novel

After several hours I fell asleep for a peaceful afternoon nap
