things I love about the morning and waking up, even if it is early and still dark outside, because there are better things to do than sleep...

1) the lying in bed time b/w the 1st sound of the alarm and the second, third, fourth snooze alarms ... b/c i am  nearly awake, and aware that it is very cold outside of my covers, making the warmth that much more enjoyable

2) a really hot shower ... to the nearly scorching temperature

3) coffee ....i love it, a lot .... sort of like an addict

4) the best part of any morning ... prayer time and reading the Bible, and being with my God and Savior ... this is by far the greatest, most motivating, most exciting part of waking up, and of the entire day and life!

5) bright sunny skies!

6) a big filling breakfast - ideally: scrambled eggs with cheese and salsa or with avocado and hot sauce and cheese, real oatmeal with peanut butter, a lil' honey, some brown sugar, cinnamon and some pecans, some toast or yogurt ... and of course coffee (again)!

thats why, in the morning the cup is entirely full!
