Morning Routines

Over the past year I've tried to develop a morning routine for myself that helps me kick off the day feeling comfortable and calm. That was laughably impossible when I was in school, but now that I'm not I think it's been nice to get into a different groove.

Anderson works nights (only 3 nights a week, and he's off the rest of the week), so once he comes home June follows him to the bedroom to sleep at his feet. That means Bailey is the only woofer around in the mornings, and she soaks up lots of love. Now that it's cooling off, we leave our windows open and she watches all morning long.

I drink coffee or tea, read a book or a magazine and eat some breakfast. In the warmer months it's iced coffee, fresh fruit or a veggie omelet. Now that it's cooling down, it's tea or hot coffee, steel cut oats or some kind of an egg. (never just Skittles)

Such a good book, very necessary coffee
All in all, mornings have slowly become my favorite part of the day. Like pushing reset on my brain and getting ready for whatever comes.

  1. I'm a morning person too. I'd like to share what I call, "morning cinema." Its where I get up, get some coffee, and settle in for some netflix in my PJs.
