Sun bursts through the curtains.
You wake up, eyes still full of sleep and head still full of dreams. You slowly recognise it is morning as you roll over in the covers to turn off your alarm.

A whole new day. A new opportunity to try.
So you roll yourself out of bed, place your feet on the ground, and greet the day.
