What’s your favorite time of day?

View all responses

People always ask, “What’s your favorite time of day?” They expect an easy answer sunrise, maybe sunset, or some quick cliché. But here’s my truth: my favorite time of day isn’t about the clock. It’s about the energy.

It’s that sacred in-between space where I can finally exhale, when the noise of the world fades and the weight I’ve been carrying slips off my shoulders. It’s when I don’t have to perform, don’t have to prove, don’t have to hustle because it’s just me, my thoughts, my peace.

For me, that moment usually comes in the evening. The air slows down, the world gets quieter, and I step into myself fully. It’s a time to breathe, to reflect, to be honest with myself about what hurt me today, what healed me, and what I need to let go of. It’s my altar of release, where I can sit in stillness, light my fire, pour my spirit out, and recharge my soul.

That time belongs to me, and me alone. No masks, no expectations, no noise. Just me, my energy, and God’s presence reminding me that rest is holy, stillness is power, and silence is a form of prayer.

The Hour That Belongs to Me

In the hush of fading light,
I find my freedom in the night.
No crowd, no mask, no endless race,
Just me, my soul, my sacred space.

When the noise of the world begins to fade,
And shadows stretch long, where light once played,
I slip away from the rush, the endless demands,
And cradle my soul in my own gentle hands.

No stage, no mask, no role to rehearse,
Just silence, my thoughts, the pulse of the earth.
The air feels heavy, yet soothing, yet true,
A moment untouched, where I just get to be you.

Your favorite time of day should be the moment you remember who you are.

Be still and know that I am God. – Psalm 46:10

My Peace

I breathe in the smoke, I breathe out the pain,
I honor the losses; I count what I gained.
The stars lean close, like they’re whispering to me,
“Child, rest your spirit, for you were made free.”

It’s the hour I heal; it’s the hour I pray,
The hour that carries my burdens away.
Not morning, not night, not bound by time’s plea,
But the sacred, still hour
The one that belongs only to me.

So, what’s my favorite time of day?
It’s not the sunrise or the sunset, it’s the pause. The quiet hour where I stop being everything for everyone else and simply exist for myself. That’s where my healing happens. That’s where my spirit breathes. That’s where I remember that life isn’t just about surviving the day, but about savoring the stillness in between.

Now I’ll ask you what your favorite time of day is, and why? When do you feel most like yourself? Because Treasurable Life isn’t just about my truth, it’s about yours too.
