A Year of Mornings

My friend, Alisha, sent me this book featured on NieNie's blog, called A Year of Mornings. Two friends, who lived 3000+ miles apart took a picture every morning for a year and posted them. The pictures are beautiful and simple and inspiring. Too bad I'm NOT a morning person. Not that I'm grumpy but I wait until the last possible second to get up in the morning no matter how much or how little sleep I've had. So I was thinking, "I'd be better off with a book titled, A Year of Nights." These are the hours of productivity and inspiration and reflection for me. Then I thought, well, maybe if I did a morning project, I would be at the very least more AWARE of my mornings and how I move through them and my LACK OF APPRECIATION for them. So, I will not do 365, but I will dedicate some space to my mornings throughout the year in this blog. Here is the first:







These are the routine images of my morning. After I realize that I must in fact get up and tend to the routines and demands of the day, I am always excited to get downstairs and check my email, SouleMama's blog and NieNie's blog (and in that order) to see what kind, funny and ordinary words people have sent and the creative ideas or recognition or appreciation with which only SouleMama and NieNie can seem to consistently and unfailingly produce and inspire. And that is how I start my days, with love, support and inspiration. And so many good days have followed such good mornings!

Thank you Alisha for the book and helping to inspire my appreciation for my mornings!
