Mornings

I am a morning person. I love the peacefulness of this time of the day. There is something about the start of a new day that makes me feel like wiping the slate clean and starting over. It takes a lot to make me upset or unhappy before say 9am. After that, no promises.

Mornings have always been my favorite time of the day. When I was a teenager I did not get a lot of time to sleep in. Responsibilities, what a bummer. But I did get to see the sun rise, and let me tell you, that is one thing that never fails to make me smile. I could have the worst day ahead of me, but the sun rising always reminds me that it can't be that bad if I get to see this everyday.

Most people hate me in the morning because I am happy and energetic long before they are ready to greet the day. I bounce out of bed most morning. I am so not kidding. My alarm goes off and I am ready to go. I dance and sing my way through getting ready for work. Not because I love my job (although I do enjoy it), but just because I am happy about a new day.

Have you ever felt that? That you are just happy that you did indeed wake up? "Everyday is a gift, that's why they call it the Present." Another one of those quotes I am not sure where I got it but it frames up nicely what I am trying to say. The day is the gift and the sun rise is the big (pick your favorite color) bow!

Enjoy your day, whenever it started!
