Morning Rituals

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

As a night owl, I’m slow to waking and getting out of bed…I’m a snuggler with blankets and pillows. I do turn to my phone to start a book on audio for a few 8-20 minutes. Then once I’m out of bed the first thing that I do is open all the blinds in the house and if the weather is good the doors and windows too. I always greet my day with “good morning world”. Open to possibility, I brew some hot water for tea, and or lemon water and head to the bath room for cleansing before I resume my morning ritual of nurturing. I leave space and time for whatever calls me, yoga/meditation, silence with my tea, writing, reading or morning conversation with my family and friends. This morning ritual does require time and space. If I’m working it’s an early wake up 5;30-6:00am (painful to a night owl). When I’m not working, late and slow mornings with soft music are delicious and divine too and excellent time to brew a weekly batch of chai and ghee.
