I would like to share with you my favorite time of day- the early hours of morning. Sometimes it is very difficult for me to wake up. My alarm starts to beep, and I wish I could just fall back asleep for a few more hours. I most often get up, though sometimes the weight of tired eyes & a tired mind is heavy, because I look forward to my morning routine. I open the blinds & feel the warmth of the sun shining through the window panes. I put on my slippers & hurry to the kitchen. It is always exciting to plan breakfast, my favorite meal. If I’m in a hurry, I always choose homemade granola, plain yogurt, & fruit. If it is a relaxing morning, I love to hard boil an egg & compliment it with some bread, made by Luke, and a banana.
One thing that I look forward to the most about marrying Luke is creating a morning routine together. He’s an early morning riser like me. On Saturdays during the summer, you will find us, during the early morning hours, at the Farmer’s Market- purchasing fresh vegetables & fruit, honey, & free-range eggs. During the winter months, he comes over & we eat, talk, & meditate with yoga. Whatever the time of year, we celebrate in the few hours before most are awake- sharing our dreams, our goals for the day, our love.
