Mornings

I did it. I moved out of my parent's home and into a lovely apartment in the Avenues of Salt Lake City. And. I. Love. It!

I am just recently experiencing the joys of internet (can't believe I made it as long as I did!) I've had much come to mind to blog, but now is the first time i'm able to actually POST my thoughts. Thanks centurylink.

Today's thoughts; Mornings! Back in the old life of Lauren, getting out of bed didn't come easy. It would take a hand from an ultimate power to get me out of bed, and even then, I seemed to excel in rolling out of bed not long before I had to be where I had to be.

This was concerning to me, as I consider myself a morning person. No, it's true! I love the mornings. I love the morning sun. I love the morning people. I love the peace that exists before the stress of the work day sets in. Mornings are happy! I think I had lost sight of that as I fell deep into my own personal darkness.

Moving out was to be the start of my epic 'coming of age' story! And, so far, I have seen a significant boost. Example #1: Mornings! I have discovered the beauty of the morning yet again.

Each morning, I have gotten up by 6, spent time to look nice, eaten a bite of breakfast on the roof to watch the sun rise, and taken the dog for a stroll around the neighborhood. Doing this has allowed me to ponder my thoughts on a deeper level and prepare me for the day... and I am not alone, as the avenues is FILLED with the people of the morning. We are all different, but we are all AWAKE!

Who knew such greatness could come in the twilight of the day. Here's to making this a habit.
