Today’s writing prompt is “What are your morning rituals?”

The first thing I do is feed the cats. They are always hungriest. Our dog gets fed a little later. She’s more polite and waits relatively patiently. Then I get dressed and make my own breakfast. My husband, on work days, gets up before I do and is usually well into making his breakfast. I relax over breakfast and usually read while eating. Then that first hour is up and I get busy, busy, busy. Relaxing for a bit after first getting up helps me to organize my thoughts and makes the busy-ness of the day more enjoyable.

Of course, my husband and I find time in the morning for a “good morning” hug and a bit of conversation about how we are both feeling. Couldn’t get through the day without that.
