Mornings

 Sometimes we writers over assume that our readers are more interested in our personal lives than the real truth 

But regardless as I am sorta struggling to write these days and confined somewhat by the letter of today- I’m just going to be self indulgent once more

My morning time is absolutely different now of course but nevertheless I have established a routine of sorts

I seem to be waking up rather early although thank the good Lord I don’t have problems sleeping 

I usually have 2 pieces of low carb toast- one with cream cheese- the other with peanut butter- this has replaced my fluffy waffles- which I do miss

I almost always have my instant coffee in my oversized Christmas coffee mug my brother-in-law and sister-in-law gave me a couple of Christmases ago

I like to turn on the local news and I mostly watch the today show- sometimes going between a few other stations  

Each morning I check my Facebook memories and share ones I think will be encouraging or uplifting- or funny or just a picture or quite a few

I’ve also started trying a new thing- where I sit silent for 5 minutes and let my mind go blank- waiting on God to speak to me

I usually wait until Miller is up to read my devotionals- he loves to hear me read

But as soon as he’s up he wants the “easy listening “ music channel- hey it’s a welcome change from the light classical station he once preferred 

If there’s time before Miller is awake- I may do my SongPop game or check through my memos - lists etc

Or I may start searching for a hopefully meaningful gift for whomever I need to remember that week

So if you are still reading - thanks for humoring  me this morning
