First Thing You Do When You Wake Up?

As you open your eyes and be greeted by the morning light, what is that first thing you do? Better yet, the series of things you do as soon as you wake up, before getting off the bed.
For me, I smile. That's the very first thing I do, then pray and thank God that I am still alive. I think that's what I need to do to start my day right. I stretch a little bit, then think about what breakfast I will eat. Finally, what really gets me off the bed is the smell of the brewing coffee. 
Just got to get up when I smell that coffee.

@JeeyanDee isn't it something the way we become so devoted to this site?

Nowadays, after saying my prayers, I open myLot even before getting off the bed.

@JeeyanDee I would love to do the same but my parent won't allow such... They're gonna scold and nag and you will regret waking up that day... LOL

You do chores before breakfast? I eat before I do anything physically demanding.

@vsai2008 It's somewhat a part of my culture though.

I hit the snooze button and say 5 more minutes... After that I would run to the bathroom, do everything under 5 minutes so I can clock in on time... That is daily

Smiling first thing in the morning is a good habit.
Once, I'm up, I go straight to the bathroom to brush my teeth.

Yes i also drink in the morning coffee although not necessarily the first thing i do every day. It is not ask me to the same thing everyday. It would depend actually on my mood on what i want to do on the day. Maybe i would open up my cell phone and read and write online. Or maybe just take a shower immediately. But i do drink a lot of coffee just because i stopped drinking juices and soft drinks because of taking care of my health. I don't usually drink coffee before when i was still drinking j powder juice

I get out of bed and turn off the alarm clock and then do my things and take care of my cat's water bowl, food plate and her litter box or toilet I call it and then I she eats and I go to the computer.

Thank you for sharing! By the way, why wait 45 minutes before eating breakfast? Just curious.
