I think anyone can relate that when you live in a house with at least one other person, it is nice once in a while to have a little time to yourself. My special time for a while has been Sunday mornings. I walk 5 days a week, most of the time at 6 a.m. with a special friend who I feel so blessed to have met. So, on the weekends, my body still thinks it's time to get up early. I go outside, get the paper, whip up some coffee and usually go on the computer and check e-mails and yes, go on Facebook. This morning, I was chatting with one of my hubby's buddies from Ohio. Quite a few of his friends are on Facebook, but my hubby does not want to go on, so I talk to his friends. His friend and I talked for a while and then he needed to go. Granted, this was all before 7 a.m.! I find that the early morning, especially on Sunday's help prepare you for the coming week. My "baby" starts 10th grade this week, so I know it will be a busy week gearing up for getting her up "early" for school. Remember to always find at least a few moments to yourself every day!

I do that one a lot. Dominic has been going to a private speech therapist for over ten years and she reminds me often that Dominic usually will know the answer, if I am patient and wait for him. That has been a very hard habit to break! Dominic has an incredible memory, so I put it to the test this morning. I didn't write out the steps, I wanted to see how much he could do completely on his own. We have a customer picking up his order today, but the only thing that had been done is putting the cookies into t...
I'm an early bird too and love those early hours when everyone else is in bed. See you on FB!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. It really helps to have some time to collect your thoughts. I just need to remember to do this at work more often too...
ReplyDeleteI still love getting up before everyone else and have "my" time!
