Happy Hour

If I am not already awake, my alarm goes off at 6:00 am. This school year has been a change from the last three years when my son did not have to be at school until 9:00. Now, in high school the bell rings at 7:30. At first I dreaded even the thought of having to start our days so much earlier. To my surprise, I actually enjoy it. I like getting the day started but what I look forward to most of all is my morning “happy hour.”  I am not rushed. I get to take my time drinking coffee, making my To Do List or browsing Instagram. Yesterday, I started working early and had two hours logged before 9:00. I feel like the first hour sets the tone for the rest of my day. Friday mornings are extra special because who isn’t in a better mood on Friday than other weekdays?

For me, this is more than just realizing it’s not so bad to get up earlier. In the past, I tended to be a “glass half empty” type person. While going through this weight loss journey, somewhere along the way I have transitioned into being more “glass half full”. Speaking of glass half full, I need to go freshen up my coffee. Have a great day!
