"Golly I love mornings... ~Smile. I hear the birds now and see the light come forth..."

Mornings


At the start of each new day, the first sliver of dawn paints the horizon, and gradually the color spreads, brightening dew, illuminating the world, and inspiring birds to song. Mornings, whether we rise early or late, are more than the buzz of the alarm clock or breakfast time. They are world's rebirth, and can carry with them a sense of hope and renewal. Mornings are an opportunity to start the day with rituals and activities you love, to greet the coming day, and to gather your thoughts over a quiet cup of tea before the responsibilities of living rear up. They can also be a time of appreciation, meditation, or gratefulness. Getting up with the sun gives you a chance to watch the world come to life as the sunshine envelopes everything in its nurturing radiance. But there are also joys inherent in getting up late, in spending a languid morning savoring breakfast and your thoughts.

Mornings, of course, become more enjoyable when we are well rested and organized. If you have collected your day's necessities the night before, you will have more time to appreciate the sparkle of the morning dew, the stillness, or the yellow haze of the sun's first rays. You may want to incorporate a ritual into your morning routine. Five minutes of contemplation, yoga, cuddling with your mate or pet, or a meal with your family can all be valued rituals that center and invigorate you. Whatever your ideal morning ritual, make sure your morning routine is one you enjoy. If you love time to yourself, get up a bit earlier. Likewise, if you find the morning rush stressful, take extra time and concentrate on only essentials so you have time to slow down and enjoy the start of your day.

The early hours of each day mark the beginning of new opportunities, discoveries, and pleasures. Starting the sunlight hours peacefully and happily can leave you with good feelings that last throughout the day. Like the morning, you, too, are reborn each day, given another chance to live well. Make the most of it by embracing each new day right from the start.

As you know I start my morning out at 5:30.

My sister, and I walk 3 miles every morning.

To the east is the Denver Skyline, and the beginning of a beautiful sunrise. To the west are the Rocky Mountains every so majestic.

Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect, it means you've decided to look beyond the imperfections... unknown
