Gratitude 08.13.2010
Today I am grateful for productive mornings. I haven’t been particularly productive this morning, but somehow even though I wanted to sleep until tomorrow morning I managed to peel my stiff self out of bed and start my day. I have managed to make Mo breakfast, unpack two boxes, start laundry, sort through some papers, straighten up and now I am sitting here watching a movie with Mo and talking to you.
Now, I haven’t cleaned the house top-to-bottom or finished unpacking every single box, so you morning folks are dancing circles around me. Morning folks, you amaze me, how do you do it?
When I am able to get up early(ish) and accomplish things in the morning, my entire day is filled with productivity. It’s perpetual. I am thankful when I have productive mornings because it’s really hard to be grumpy and have a bad when it’s not even 9:00AM and you can cross several things off of your day’s to-do list. Productive mornings make me feel like I am in control of making great things happen in my life and for that I am truly grateful.

Well, we fibro sufferers pretty much know how our day is going to go when we wake up. If we’re feeling pretty good and have some energy we always have that long list of things that had to wait for these kinds of days. It DOES feel good to be able to get cracking and cross a lot of our to-do chores off that list. Especially if we have some energy left to do something enjoyable, too!
It’s true – Days hardly ever turn around with fibro. It’s either good or bad, and you know it before your eyes have even focused in the morning.
Thanks for the encouragement to keep the early morning routine and love it.
It was a good morning. I have to admit that I took a delicious nap later in the day, but even after the nap I had a much more productive evening than days that I get up late and have a slow start.
