There are many things about the start of the day I love to experience.
For one, the morning air has a certain cool to it. When I open my windows and the cool night breeze wafts in, it feels great. It’s still dark out, but I’ve slept enough, and the day begins somewhat.
I understand the allure of the 5am club, but I wake up early by accident most of the time. Unless I’m training for running, then I very intentionally wake up early to get my run in before the hot sun rises.
My head has also just come out of dream state, and there’s a certain creative clarity to it. I don’t really understand why, but I know after a coffee, and after some writing, I have a really refreshed brain put on. The worst thing to do would be to doom scroll at this point, and sometimes, I drop into that dark neverending hole.
But today, I’ve got my coffee in hand, I’ve got three pages of writing, and I’ve even got my bible reading and some pauses of prayer in. I consider this a 5 star start to the day, including writing this post as well.
I hope the rest of the day rolls along well, but it probably will because the start was restful enough. Thank God.
