Warm rays of light were coming through the window, illuminating her room in a bright glow, the wallpapers nearly shining pink and yellow. With still closed eyes she drew the warm blanket up till her nose, enjoying the relaxed feeling that stretched through her whole body. The light shone bright and steady, so she slowly and carefully opened her eyes, peeking outside, greeted by clear blue sky. Even while it was more then comfortable lying in the big bed, she felt the need to get up and greet the new day. Turning around she let her feet down to the floor, the cold air making her shiver for a second before she reached her warm slippers. Her sister always insisted on her wearing them. Sitting now up in bed she stretched her back and arms out, the morning sun still warming her from behind. A few moments passed with her just sitting still, the last shimmers of a nice dream flickering in her eyes, before she grabbed her robe and left the room.
The long hall she now walked was quiet and as much bathed in warm sunlight as her room a few moments before. The huge windows allowed the still weak February sun to show all her morning glory, making the passer by forget it was still winter. Her soft slippers made no sound as she walked over the well-worn carpets. A small yawn escaped her lips and she decided to look out the window closest to her. The morning light was glittering on the fjord, appearing like thousands of diamonds spread over a bright blue satin cloth. Fisher boats and trading vessels were standing in the port, people could be seen already busy with their days work. By now, snow had made way for earth to be seen, and still, frost was thick on every house roof.
Making her way on she reached the small dinning room where breakfast was now served. Opening the door she was once again greeted by bright sunlight, and the smell of coffee and warm bread. Closing her eyes she let the moment fully sink in, and deep down felt truly happy. The table had of course one place already occupied and she made haste to join in.
"Good morning Anna. Slept well?"
"Morning Elsa. I did, but its even nicer to wake up."
