What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?

The ritual can happen in bed, or in the kitchen, or any room.  It can happen with written material, with digital media, or quietness with my thoughts.  I have been known to ruin the start of the day by listening to my heart beating and falling asleep for another hour or more.  I love and am perfectly satisfied with beginning any day with gratitude for my loved ones and the whole planet.

I am determined to renounce robotic days.  I prefer to do what impresses me.  I do not like trying to impress myself by the things I do. A ‘good boy’ to myself is the least of my priorities.

I love to let a song, a kiss, the sound of finches or robins, a Bible verse or passage speak to me.  Very often I am subconsciously tagging something simple, a word, a musical phrase, a rhyme, the beating of my heart, anything that might help to shape my day.
