Mornings

I don’t consider myself a morning person. I would much rather sleep in instead of waking up to an alarm when I know I haven’t gotten anywhere close to a full 8 hours. I also like to stay up late, and I feel most productive later at night.

But I love the idea of mornings. Making a cup of coffee a little too hot so I can happily sip, to my heart’s content. I live in the Pacific Northwest so I like the rain in the morning, that seems to glisten on the pavement. I like to cuddle up with a blanket and maybe do my daily devotions or read a really good book.

I like the quiet before the noise of the day begins. I like catching up with people like “how did you sleep” “how are you feeling” “do you want a cup of coffee” that type of thing. I like the smell of mornings; wet pavement, the rich smell of coffee, a clean blanket. I enjoy the idea of mornings and to live in a quiet morning state of mind would be a dream.
