SoCS — Morning Has Broken

Fandango

For this week’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt from Linda G. Hill, she has given us the word “morning” and to use it any way we like.

I am a morning person. Not by choice, however. If I could, I’d sleep a lot later than I do. But I can’t. No matter what time it is at night when I shut my eyes, I find myself to be wide awake usually by around 6 or 6:30 am. If I am able to sleep past 7:00, that’s a late morning for me.

What I usually do when I first wake up in the morning is to pick up my iPhone and see what comments came in overnight while I was sleeping. That’s usually between 25-35 comments. I also check my Reader to see what the bloggers I follow have posted overnight. It’s a lot because I follow a lot of very prolific bloggers, most of whom post multiple times a day.

Hence, I spend a fairly significant portion of each morning reading and responding to comments and reading and commenting on posts that show up in my Reader.

I try to fit in coffee, breakfast, skimming the newspaper and my newsfeed, taking the dog out, and, oh yes, interacting with my wife in the morning as well.

Bottom line, I like the morning. It’s the start of a new adventure each day. And I like this song from Cat Stevens, as well.

    It is good to have a usual way of starting a day. Great song, too! 🙂
