What Do You Do In The Mornings?

[Angela]

I love to go outside and sit on my front porch and listen to the birds. I have found it quite relaxing. I usually take 5 to 10 minutes, reflect and get my day started with making a list of things I want/need to do.

[A.L.]

Glare at the alarm, get up, get dressed, feet pets, partner and self, go to work.

[Claire]

I wish I could appreciate the glory of mornings, but most of the time, its a reminder that I have to go to work.

[Heather]

I usually stumble around trying to feed my cat. @Angela I'd like to start listening to birds too-- they're so active in the morning! It's quite pleasant to listen to.

Well I hate getting up but I do like my early morning walk to the train station. I live near woods so I often see squirrels running around and it feels quite peaceful at least until I get to the road. A deer ran right past me one winter morning when there was a few inches of snow on the ground too. It was really cool to see as it was so close by - they are so fast!

My schedule changes a lot, but right now I have to get up pretty early in the morning four days a week and I am so not a morning person. I find it very difficult to go to bed significantly before 11 pm and I really need 8-9 hours of sleep, so...this is a problem. On those mornings, I stare at my clock beseechingly and imploringly, stumble to the shower, get ready, scarf down some Cheerios, and start the drive to work. I listed to audio books a lot, but in the mornings I'm almost always a bit out of it, so just silence.

The first thing I usually do in the morning is whisper a thanks to God for allowing me another beautiful day. Then I stretch, and locate a scripture that almost always turns out to be exactly what I need for that particular day.

I make and or eat a quick breakfast while checking emails on my phone. Then is the workout. What follows is a genuinely welcome shower and the dressing for work.

However, the above varies in one area on the weekends. I don't check emails during breakfast on the weekends. That's me time. Me, my pancakes and I time :)

I like reading about your mornings...especially the ones involving birds and squirrels.

The first thing I do in the morning (after using the bathroom) is write down my dreams. Then I read what I dreamed a month ago and a year ago.

Coffee, coffee, coffee

[G.G.]

Depends on the mornings, on the weather, etc. but in the summer, I like reading outside in the gazebo with a coffee. As long as it doesn't rain too hard, I'll go.

[Tracy]

I'm with you Prismseven coffee, coffee, coffee, and read for 20 mins before being able to function...

[Luke]

Coffee!

[Mack]

Yes, coffee. The most important meal of the day when combined with a cigarette on the porch.

The only thing that gets me up in the morning is knowing I have 15 minutes to myself to read and drink coffee. If I could skip mornings completely, I would.

[Vanessa]

I'm up way before dawn and I play Star Trek Online and drink coffee until I wake up.

[Rinelle]

If I'm up early enough (ie. before my family), it's my best time to write. Otherwise, I snuggle in bed with my daughter and husband, then usually get and frantically get ready to go somewhere. I may or may not play a few ipad games in there somewhere...

[Rachel]

I try and get some writing in before work and then a nice breakfast :)
