We all know a few glow worms. They jump out of bed all perky and raring to go on any given day. That is NOT me. Its wishful thinking but don't hold your breath. I need time and after 10am is good..lol. Even tho I drove like a wild woman to get to work, I did enjoy that 20min to myself to get my mood and self together. Some people need a cup of coffee before they can face the world. A friend of mine's mother used to always wake her up in a Mary Poppins kind of voice with ''good morning, good morning, good morning to you.'' My friend asked ''why is it good? just say morning.'' I second that..ha.
If we can't glow at all hours, we should at least glow as much as we can. Another friend always starts his prayers off with ''thank you Lord, for another day of life.'' I bet that's how glow worms start their days.. with a grateful heart.
I can be grateful.. .but not before my brain is fully engaged and that usually doesn't happen early in the morning. I once set a goal to get up at 5:30 to have a quiet time and I got on my knees to make sure I stayed awake. Still, I woke up and found that my pen had made a diagonal line off the page as I fell asleep. NO glow worm here... Sigh...
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love that prayer, "Thank you, Lord, for another day of life!" And good morning to you! It's 6:30 a.m., time to rise and shine! :o)
ReplyDeleteI used to be a "Gloria", but since I retired I am SO thankful that God (and James and Harley) let me sleep in if I want to. Now, "sleeping in" for me is usually til about 7:00 a.m.! I spent a LOT of years getting up at 5:30 or so, and always considered myself a "morning person", but love moving from the bed to the couch to have some quiet time and wind up slowly. Getting dressed is optional, LOL!! Probably don't always glow, but hope I glow occasionally....love you, Angie!
ReplyDeleteGlow little glow worm, glimmer, glimmer... I think I'm somewhere in between.
