Last night I kept waking to noises in the dark. The baby stirring, the humidifier, the fan, and the dog's nail clicking against the dresser as she stretched and shifted were among the sounds. A few times I woke to noises that were gone by the time my conscious mind awakened so they remain unidentified.
It was night of waking. So this morning when I woke before an alarm to dogs pacing and a baby calling over the monitor I stumbled down the hall disoriented and dazed. As I tried coaxing my daughter back to sleep I began hearing noises coming from downstairs. At first a rustling and footsteps had me on guard, but I don't know any intruders that put their dishes in the dishwasher.
Making my way downstairs with an alert baby, I found my husband awake and getting ready for the day. He too had a night of waking and had come downstairs to not disturb me when he got up early.
I'm grateful to have a thoughtful husband. I'm grateful to find my family the source of the noises in the dark. I'm grateful to live in a safe neighborhood. I'm grateful to muster the energy to drag myself out of bed when needed. I'm grateful for lights to illuminate the dark at the flip of a switch.
What noises do you hear at night? What is your favorite noise to hear upon waking?
May today bless our ears with positive, supportive sounds. Have a beautiful day!
