Day 14 - Calm Mornings

Living here would make each morning just a tad bit calmer, I think.

Who wouldn't want to wake up to this scene?

This morning I work up extra early so I could go to the gym. Let me tell you, it was painful. Not the gym, that was no big deal. But the numbers 5:30 on my phone hurt my eyes. How can you people possibly get up this early?

As I was driving to and from the gym, I realized how lucky I am to be able to take my time getting ready every morning. Typically I get up at 7 and make it into work by 9. I take my time taking a shower, picking out an outfit, making breakfast, having my quiet time, doing my hair, making coffee and catching up on all the facebook gossip. And eventually, when I feel like it, I start working. It's a beautiful thing to not be hurried in the morning, and it puts me in a better mood for the rest of the day And so I'm thankful for calm mornings. No elaboration necessary.

You can also put this under another reason why I'm thankful for singleness. I don't know too many mothers who get these kinds of mornings.
